answer:He is in the peak of his adolescence and will be through his first year to 18 mos. Make sure he has plenty of toys to bite and play with. Alternate toys, bags, etc. for variety. The best thing to do is tell him “no” and stop playing with him when he attacks. Some cats become over stimulated and it is up to you to read his signals. A spray bottle works well for a quick reminder. When he bites, push your hand into his mouth more, not forcefully, but with some pressure. He will release it usually. Ignore him until he calms down again and praise him when he is gentle. You don’t want to become ‘dominant’ but you do want to be clear and consistant in your behaviors. I have a 9 month old neutered male that is quite feisty as well. It is part of their maturing process. NEVER hit the cat! If he growls or meows and gives you a warning that he has had enough of whatever, cuddling, playing, it’s your cue to ease up. If you force or antagonize him you will get what you deserve! lol
