Does anyone else have a foot biter?

My kitten is now 7 months old and is obsessed with my feet. Only my feet. I can just be sat there and he comes over and bites them. I've tried distraction, ow/no loudly, blowing at him, hissing at him everything I've seen online but nothing. He will even find his way under the douvet to get at my feet. He has so many toys that I get in trouble for buying more 😂 but would rather play with my feet.

I have an elbow biter!

I have. He’s 15 now and still has a go at any bare feet he finds 😀

That's very reassuring 😂 I hate wearing socks. I wish he picked my boyfriends feet instead 😂

Put slippers on - those boot slippers that come up over the ankles

I have some but I dont like to have warm feet. So winter this is fine but in summer I dont wear anything on my feet unless I have to.

My ankles are shredded, it HURTS! It’s her game going up the stairs and bloody hell, I wish it would stop!

My old cat was. Couldn't even have 1 toe out the duvet or it was fair game to her. We had to walk backwards past her to make sure we saw where she was going as she's just launch herself at you. She was a nightmare. But I loved her.

Im looking after my neighbours cat and have to wear wellies when I feed him because he bites my feet so hard he has drawn blood. Still bites my wellies super hard.
I will say I am away on holiday if they ever ask again!

Our sixteen week old LOVES feet. Or his older siblings' tails and ears Hmm

Luckily for him they're incredibly tolerant Grin

My two year old "kitten" does it. She hunts my feet. It bloody hurts.

Basil (aged 12) is still a right bitey bastard particularly in the morning. Fingers or toes outside the duvet are fair game. His bites can be extremely hard. He also purrs very loudly while attacking. Git 😹.

Kloppy doesn't bite but licks my toes. And my hands, my face, my eyebrows... He's half tiger, half puppy dog 🐕
