Our lovely cat is 10 months old and her biting is getting worse and I'm just after some advice if possible.
So i've had her since 9 weeks and she's always been a bit of a biter/nipper. She mainly bites me and I'm her person I guess she sleeps on my bed etc although she does bite dp as well but less frequently although still very regularly. Currently she's biting multiple times a day. She's not a lapcat and so we only stroke on her terms so she will come to me purring and rubbing her head against mine and want strokes on the head and chin but then whilst still purring and without any other signs like flicking tail etc she will start biting- I'm guessing she's had enough and is overstimulated but then if you don't stroke her when she wants a fuss she also bites.
Also she regularly just randomly attacks eg. I'm lying on bed she walks into room and clamps onto arm with teeth doing bunny kicks. There's not masses of blood but she's leaving marks and scratches and puncture wounds and it seems like it's more than a nip. I tend to pull her off (which is pretty hard) and put her outside the room and just ignore her for a while. She invariably cries at the door for a bit then goes away but we've been doing this for months and it makes no difference to her behaviour.
She's outside a lot at the moment and loves it outside chasing flies all day. I'm at home all the time currently and give her a lot of attention- play with her when she wants etc although she also likes to be left alone a bit.
She is my pfb and I feel like i've done something wrong to make her so vicious and want to try and put it right but am a bit stuck
