It can be difficult to stop an adult cat from biting the hands of its owner or any other person, but it is entirely possible.
If you have set such a goal for yourself, first of all, stock up on time and patience, and then you can start taking action - everything you need to do is listed below.
Don't provoke an attack
If you sleep with your arm down or do certain exercises that might attract the cat's attention, stop doing these things at least for a while to help the cat learn not to attack.
Don't accustom your cat to being handled
Cuddling a small kitten or offering it a finger to nibble on is certainly pleasant and cute, but if such behavior becomes a habit, the cat will always associate the human hand with a toy.
Scold your cat if it bites.
Animals understand voice intonation well, and if you behave accordingly (say “No!”, “Stop!”, “Shoo!”), the cat will certainly stop biting.
Examine your cat for possible illnesses
If your pet bites when you pet him in a certain area, part the fur and examine the skin for wounds or other damage.
Visit your vet
If you still can't determine the cause, take your cat to the vet for a professional examination. If you're concerned about your pet's behavior, a professional examination can help identify any health issues early and help your cat.
