How to STOP Kittens From Biting You (6 Tips!)

- Kittens are budding micro-panthers with a strong instinct to practice their hunting skills...and that includes BITING! But just because these fierce little felines have an instinct to bite does not mean that have to be biting YOU. In this video, I share 6 effective and easy tips for getting kittens not to bite you and your hands.

cats are not related to tigers or lions they are related to the Bobcat or the links
@@onlyplayaseattacoswiththei9433... ya.. not sure why the LOL emoji. Highly unlikely u let your daughter adopt 2 pregnant cats, which means you've created an unfortunate, preventable mess. The sisters didn't mate w/ each other, which means they weren't fixed & were left to go outside.. a bunch. If you've watched Kitten Lady, neo kitties are a big job. Take care of mom, watch her videos, & get them to 6 wks ish? Then get them adopted or find an excellent shelter - asap. Otherwise you're going to repeat your cycle - x 7 kitties & that CANNOT happen. Please do the right thing.
Greetings from Michigan. If a day goes by where one of my fiendish Felines does NOT make an attempt on my life, I start to worry about them.
Peyton Bell So did you keep and vaccinate and spay /neuter all the kittens you let happen? If your daughter wants to be a veterinarian, then you should start teaching her responsibility. I have been an LVT for 25 years and it’s people like you that make me cringe. You are probably what they call a “troll” on these types of forums.
Thank you for advice!
my cat taught himself how to fetch. one day he realized “wait, human throw toy, toy moves, toy fun to chase” and he brings you his toy and meows until you throw it. this continues for hours.
Lol
get a laser pointer, limitless hours of fun
Felipe Siqueira YEAH GET A LAZER POINTER I DEFINITELY AGREE
My guy's kitten learned to grab her toys and bring them to us if she wants us to play with her
It's adorable
I wish my cat played with toys XD
She has several, but chooses to mess with our golden retriever's tail instead.

It's smarter than that brother doing it themselves.
Which mine actually did.

Ur a savior
Omg I am guilty. I like to play with her nose, I think that started it all. Ugh
@@aS-qu1vp noo dont worry cats especially kittens like to scratch or bite as playing but make sure to touch them where they like to be touched. The way you can know whether they like it or not is by trying it out and seeing if they feel comforted
i may have encouraged my kittens to chase my hand,

it was a mistake

Well I’m getting a kitten soon so I need to study
There has to be another way...I must... Tickle... His belly...
literally, mine ATTACHES to my hand every time i try n rub her belly😭
@@anabellmarie3580 He only does that to me during playtime, which he decides lol. Other then that he loves a good belly rub.
Kyle Borowski awh i wish 🥺
One of my pet sitting clients has three cats and one of the males LOVES to cuddle. As soon as you walk in the door he’s rubbing your feet. When I sit to watch tv he’ll jump up in my lap and cuddle with me for hours. My favorite position is when he’s belly up in the crook of my arm and my hand can rub his belly and he LOVES it. He’ll just watch the tv and purr away and make biscuits 🤣😍 And he’s SO soft, especially that belly fur. God I love that cat 😅
Especially if they’re tabbies and have an adorable checkerboard tummy.
When you're sad, cats are there to cheer you up. When you’re happy, they’re here to make you laugh. God, thank you for them!
Me: doesn't have a cat
Also me: still watches this video
Me too! I binge watch "my cat from Hell", lol
Finally, got a cat a week ago!
mee tooooo
We recently agreed to get a cat and researched breeds due to an allergy. I'm watching a bunch of video's hoping to avoid mistakes. My Nan had cats when I was a kid, but they were only half domesticated on the farm. They refused to sleep indoors. They hunted birds and ate everything except for the feathers and bones (unsurprising) and the liver (why?). My grandparents liked everything fresh, so their cats and sheep dog were fed raw meat. I can't offer a home as exciting as my grandparents farm for cats, but I'd like to make it as nice as possible.
@@runningfromabear8354 Too much liver would mean excess intake of vitamin A. That would be very harmful, so maybe that's why cats avoid bird livers naturally. In mice they would be smaller, I guess.
Try having one, it's so cool.
I used to love making my cute kitty attack my hands. He looked adorable. Now that he’s turning 2 in August it’s not so cute... mostly painful, I wish I would have know that it wasn’t ok
Valerie Ricaurte bro same. my cat is 1 year old now and she is aggressively playful now since she didn’t have toys, she had hands and legs. sooo it kinda sucks😂
My neighbors cat weve watched it grow up it would come over to our house and sleep over and wrestle with us and would nibble and paw us softly but knew not to hurt us he would just put his teeth on you and not in you he would bring lizards to the front door and would come to us for us to touch him i would feed him by hand and he would jump on my bed to sleep till the morning
We got a healthy way of playing with each other, like my feet under the thick blanket, or I cover my hand with my hoodie. He never attacks me, he only plays with claws if he knows I am okay with it and still laugh.
abby hutc
i feel that so hard. my cat is 3 now and he doesn't seem to understand that he is very big and strong now and being bitten HURTS
I taught my kitten not to bite by yelping if she bit me at all and then stopping the play for a minute or two. She left her litter too early and I don’t think she knew not to bite too hard because of it but she learnt very quickly from the yelping. I’m all for talking to your cat like another cat would
How old was ur cat when u Yelp at it? I need advice here. Thanks
i’m gonna start doing this with my 6 week old kitten
I have known many people with kittens who say this is helpful. I have an adult cat who is very hand fixated, and I'm afraid it hasn't worked for her, it seems to just make her more activated and want to bite more.
We just got an orphaned kitten. Last night, maybe 5-6 weeks old
My 20 year old thought it was so cute to let the kitten Titan bite him everywhere he wants but I watched this and Galaxys video to get an idea of how to care for Titan. I told my son not to let him nib at him, don't use hands as toys, we got a yarn ball toy and a stick toy with feathers at the end. I used a yelp today as I was holding Titan today once I felt him nibbing at me. I will continue to yelp, this is a good idea, with redirection on what he can nib at. After play,and eating he's now sleeping.
@@ILuvAyeAyeprobably because he wasn't redirected as a kitten
Me: *has a dog*
Also me: *watches this video even tho I don’t have a cat*
🤣😂🤣😂
😄 Maybe it's just in case...
Get one!
Lmao 😂 🤪😂😂😂
It bits hands not fingers
me: adopting a new kitten tommorow
her: get him a friend

We had two kittens from the same litter and the male always dominated the female. They played together when they were young but he always had to be the boss. As they grew up, they grew further apart. It seemed like she actively disliked him for most of their adults lives. Cats are not always pack animals.
My boyfriend said the same thing. Now we are driving to get our second cat.
What if I adopt only one kitten will he/she feel lonely?
Respect Whamen not always.
When I first got my kitten, I got him as a solo cat. He seemed so playful and full of tons of energy and it made me sad that I would have to leave him alone for hours and hours while I was at work. He seemed constantly bored and had nothing to take his energy out on when I wasn't able to play with him. I watched some of your videos where you advise cat owners to get a second cat. I was really persuaded and decided to adopt the last sibling of my first kitten. Getting my kitten's sibling was one of the best choices I've made for the health of my first kitten! They are always playing together, my first kitten has chilled out a LOT and has become much more gentle, and now I have twice the cuteness. Thanks for the great advice Kitten Lady!
Emma Calabrese We adopted a brother and sister and they spend hours chasing and wrestling each other. But....they still bite. Lol
Can you leave a kitten home by itself?
Like what if you had to go to work or go to school you just can’t be with them.
@@misscarla6765 i left my kittens alone when i had work and school and they were fine :) just make sure to pick up any small pieces of plastic or anything that they might try to chew/swallow when you're gone! They will be just fine
Okay gonna get another one😽
Wow I'm in a very similar situation, except I haven't adopted a second friend! I'm looking into adopting one of his siblings if they still haven't found a home yet 🤧
Here's me as a new kitten owner (JJ showed up in my carport 3 weeks ago) and I'm working really hard to keep me kitten not only entertained but worn out by the end of the day. Then my mom or my sister comes along and starts wiggling their fingers at him because it's just so cute. It doesn't matter how many times I tell them off they can't help themselves. Then it comes to bedtime and my hands are suddenly chew-toys for a kitten that would otherwise be ready for bed. -.-
Just got two feral kittens about 10 weeks old and watching ur vids has been a life saver, THANK YOU
I watched mama cats, When the kitten bites "too hard", the mama cat bopped the kitten between the ears, so I tap the kitten and cats between the ears lightly when they do something "naughty". It worked for me.
What does it means "bopped" i'm sorry i'm not a native speaker :(
@@josefinatapia1749 it means tapped
@@josefinatapia1749 I mean a LIGHT tap with my forefinger.
Wow nice tips, hope it's gonna work. Thanks mate
Simple, bite him back so that he'll learn how to control the force when bitting, i love to bit my cat as it is a show of affection in catspeak, if you don't bite him back he won't understand that bitting hurts if it is too strong and he will bite you strongly, my cat knows perfectly the force he has to use when playing, cats only bite what they like.
wow, I didn’t know how bad it was playing with my hands, thanks for the advice!!

@@fss1704 No lo sirve. They have fur as well as tougher skin; it teaches them nothing.
I neeed advice please.. my future kitten (4week old) is being taught to bite (by them playing with hands and other things like that) will I be able to change that later?
@@fernpear4789 It's very rarely too late. Even into adulthood you can (re)train cats not to bite. Just remember not to get angry when they do so at first.
Wow, this was SO helpful! My babies are 4 weeks old, so I am learning as much as I can since they are on the brim of being full blown kittens! Thank you so much!

Don't bite hands, bite this fun toy instead ^_^

I watched this video over a year ago when I first got a kitten. Even though I've had lots of cats over the years, it had been a long time since I had a kitten. The info in this video was SO HELPFUL! And I'm happy to say that my cat is super awesome and part of that is due to me watching this video!! When a friend asked for help with her new kitten, I knew I had to locate this video so I could send it to her. Thank you, Kitten Lady!!
This video helped me a lot. I’ve been trying to get my kitten out the habit of going for my hands and feet. I brought him a scratching post because I just got tired of being his human one 😂. I’m going to watch more of your videos to help me more with him. Thank you!
I been watching you for ages and I have learnt a lot. Tomorrow at 2 UK time I'm picking up my new kittens and I thank you for teaching me everything I need to know x
Edit: Rose phillip and ivy was born on the 18th March and are super adorable

"Haha kitten go nom"
it's so cute that even tho you've seen so many and are being very informative you still melt and awww when the kitties are being adorable. shows your true love for them and its just adorable
Thank you so much! I found a 5-week-old kitten under my car (we live in the country), and took him in. I’ve never raised a kitty before, I’ve always had dogs. But this little guy stole my heart! He was malnourished, and had fleas, but he’s completely healthy... and has no worms! (He did so well at the Vet.) His name is Loki... god of mischief. LOL! And raising him these past two weeks has been quite a learning experience. I have 4 dogs, and have kept them apart until he’s old enough. (That’s yet ANOTHER thing I need to learn how to do!) But after watching your video about biting, I realize I’ve been going about it all wrong. This is brilliant! Thankfully, his bite is very soft. (For now.) But I’d like to ‘nip’ it at the bud before it gets any stronger. (Pun intended!) This is my first time watching your videos (whoops... second... watched how to determine his age), and I’m learning SO MUCH! I feel blessed to have found them! So, thank you... again! From a new kitty mommy! I hit that subscribe button immediately!
Thank you for you instructional videos. My wife recently save two kittens from certain death. As my wife went to work Monday - Friday I was left to take care of them during the day and nights. Through your videos I was able to :
- age the correctly (2 weeks old at the time).
- know how to properly feed and basic care for them.
- stimulate for ones and twos.
Now that they are due to go to their forever home (together) this coming Friday, I would like to thank you for your more than helpful advice you have give on your channel.
They will go to their forever home with the advice to tune into your channel for any advice necessary.
It has been a pure joy caring for something so small and helpless.
Nice!
So sweet!

Thank you, I found a family of mom and kittens at work and am fostering them. Your videos have taught me so much.
The best solution for keeping my active kitten happy was bringing home two, so they could attack and bite each other! 😹😹
Thats brutel to me but okay?!?
Denise Brauner we might do that 😃😂
I have one that’s a 8 week old then a 3 week old and the 8 week old loves to attack the 3 week old that can barely walk. 😂

Cats have different personalities. It's a factor to remember.

Agreed
Who would dislike this video?!?!! Hannah is always so helpful!
Haters
...or,more like people who want to remain ignorant of a kittens needs.
This video is flawless, a perfect 10 score in content, presentation, and enjoyability.
I love the way Hannah sometimes yelps or laughs in the middle of a sentence, because of some extra-cute kitten antics.
It's my first time having a kitten, I'm a dog person and I don't really like cats at first but when I meet our first cat, he became more attached to me than my mother who always wanna adopt one, we always bond together and I never knew that I'll love this kitten. Your video really helped because I'm having a hard time controlling our kitten these days especially that his growing up..
Thank God for your tips. Our tiny kitten is very fond of our hands and feet. More power!!
Giving your kitten its own little stuffed animal each time it tries to bite is a great way to stop this bad habit, worked for our cat🐈
Yes I did this with my kitten and he’s almost stopped biting completely
@@sadielewis9455 so glad it helped
@@ItsaRomethingeveryday how long did it take? this mf scratches and bites like no other
@@gayforchapman5557 it's on going, most kitty's will bite while playing, when ours won't stop biting me I will put her down on the floor and just keep pushing the stuffed animal towards here til she stops biting towards me
Thank you! Our kitten just got into his "bitey" phase, this really helps!

Bitting is not a problem with a cat that knows how to control the bitting force, their bitting is a sign of affection and you should reply by bitting back.
Felipe Siqueira where do u bite it
@@elliecam7070 everywhere, just let him know that you're playing, and if he hurt you just hiss at him showing your teeth and he'll understand better that he can't do it
@@elliecam7070 take a small break when he stop to bite you that way he'll lean that you're not angry with him then "provocate" him into playin more then pet him after that
You have a humane, common-sense approach to the young felines; it's refreshing and positive.
Your videos have been so helpful and informative. I found 4-5 wk old kittens and have learned what I was doing right and wrong. Thank you so much!
My kitten was nibbling my fingers so I tried to redirect him to a toy instead but he kept on...eventually I started to gently tap his nose and he eventually got it..again very gently..it worked for me
So you tap his nose everytime he woukd bite you and then you would redirect him to a toy??
Btw, sorry for my english 🙏 i will probably adopt one so i'm trying my best to know how to educate them
iSolvano HDR Nah I did the same thing and it worked
@iSolvano HDR oh wow😂😂😂😂😂.
They should feel it
I hold my kitten by their neck like their mother and showed him where’d he bit me and I told him no and he calmed down
Just until outgrow habit like puppies
This info should come with every cat adoption everywhere! Well done. 👍🏻
Thank you Kitten Lady. I’m a retired guy with two abandoned six week old kittens found in my neighbor’s backyard. Never had a pet let alone two small cats. This helps a lot.
Tapping very gently on their nose (very sensitive region) while saying a strong "no" worked for me even with full grown cats. Of course I needed to do my homework and not provoke them with my hands as well. Having a toy around to reinforce the "yes" afterwards also helped.
My mother will have to watch this video. Our new kitten has been doing this a lot now.
The other day, I met one of my aunt's foster kittens who was 8 weeks old. He was a biter. Any sudden movement of my hands and he would attack. I thought to myself, what could I do to stop this behavior. I'm a fan of Jackson Galaxy so I remembered his method of redirecting. My sister however kept playing with him with her hands which I told her to stop but she didn't care (she is only 2 years younger than me and I am 16). Soon I grab a wand toy and began to play with him. He really loved it. I also gave him a kicker toy which he didn't really enjoy as he loved movement. I played with him for a while and even I got tired. He became hungry so I gave him some food. After that, he cuddled next to me and fell asleep. This video really reassured me that I was doing the right thing
Aww this is so nice. My kitty is three months and has gotten feisty lol I’m confident I can better care for her now thank you! 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thank you for this channel! I am the proud mother of a kitten who’s prior owner dumped him in a dumpster. He has been the greatest gift to me. I can’t imagine my day without him.
Very helpful tips for helping stimulate the kittens we occasionally get at the animal clinic I work at! Thank you!
Ive been doing that with my son's kitten. Thank you for your advice. I really like the way you talk about the kitten
The best tips I got from your video were the letting you hand limp and replacing it with a toy instead. Frankly, I thought of the kitten biting with their needle sharp teeth rather cute, and something that they would eventually grow out of. However, the more I watched your video, the more it made sense. Also the training aspect on feeding them after playing was a fantastic tip. Obvious for you, yes, but new to me since I've only had my bad boy kittens for the last 36 hours; so hopefully their still time, since I (like a kid) have been playing with them with my hands thinking it was rather cute. Thanks for all your tips. Marcus M.
Ah you're so smart and you do such an amazing job educating others about kittens while raising awareness. I recently decided to get my first kitten ever (decided on getting two after this video). I am so happy to have stumbled upon your channel. I recently sat and binge watched all of your videos. I've cried so much but I've also celebrated your successes with you! Keep being amazing because we need more people like you.
I just got a kitten unexpectedly and I absolutely love her thank you so much for these tips!
I’ve been watching your videos since last almost 2 months, when my girl cat was expecting babies. Now she’s a mommy of 3 kittens and I’m still learning how to be the best mom to them all. I must just tell you that how you explain and guide, can only be possible when there’s immense passion and love for what you’re doing. Thank you for being so good. It helps !
Please get them spayed ❤
Thank you!! We found a kitten just one week ago alone inside the wheel well of a car. We took her to the vet and she is doing great now. She is almost seven weeks old and I want her to be a good kitty when she's older and these are such great tips! Never thought of rewarding her play time with her food after! It will make her feel like her "hunt" was very successful! Thank you!!
While watching this my kitten is attacking an invisible mouse
Congrats! Your house is haunted lmao
My kitten always chases an invisvilble mouse LMAO
Same here my kitty is also always chasing something invisible
These are awesome, perrrrfect tips for a common problem - thank you so much Kitten Lady!
I know you made this a year ago but dang girl this was super informative. I have a 6 week old and he bites our hands and feet but I totally get it now. Thanks so much - Kim
I think my kitten is broken, she doesn't do that sleep thing.
David Wang my baby boy was like that give her time and cuddles and she will learn her favorite toy needs rest so she will learn to rest too
She probably doesn’t feel comfortable in her surroundings
I watched a kitten for 2 weeks, and I don’t think he slept much the first week. He probably snuck in some while I was asleep.
There's only 1 tip: do not play with your hands🙏

Thanks for posting this. I just got a 10 month old rescue with a biting problem. I'm going to be trying these tips.
I took in an abandoned 5 week old kitty and your videos have been so helpful. My oldest kitties are 5 so I forgot all the kitty days.
Your videos are always sooo helpful!! 🙏🏼
My foster kittens were biting me and I wanted to ask you this! You read my mind💕✨
This video and the “how to learn how old your kitten is” was super helpful. I just got a kitten and had no idea how much training was going to be entailed. I’ve had him for three weeks now and he must be about 12 weeks old. We’re still learning not to bite and scratch me and I’m afraid of the mistakes I made throughout the weeks with him. Like scolding without providing a positive reinforcement or greeting him with my fingers. I hope to get him on a more consistent schedule and that I didn’t hurt his development with my ignorance.
Thank you so much. You are an excellent teacher and advocate for our symbiotic relationship with these incredible animals.
Loved this! Thank you for these great tips! Picking up my new kitten from Humane Society in a couple of days and this will be a great help. We also have a 2 year old kitty at home ❤️
I heard sometimes that these bites are signs of affection or love nips but this video is amazing and informative. Nice job! Those kittens are looking so happy and healthy.
Simple, bite him back so that he'll learn how to control the force when bitting, i love to bit my cat as it is a show of affection in catspeak, if you don't bite him back he won't understand that bitting hurts if it is too strong and he will bite you strongly, my cat knows perfectly the force he has to use when playing, cats only bite what they like.
It is definetly a sign of affection, to avoid hard bitting you should bit your cat back with the same force they bit you so that he'll use less force when playing, other cats bit each other in playing and if you don't biteplay with your cat he'll start biting you strongly and that's not fun.

@@fss1704 So half the fun of having a cat is to bite them? You need to see a doctor
Very knowledgable thanks for making this video❤
Very good material. Worth every minute. You must have been a kitten in another life!
Thank you! I have 4 foster kittens and I’m really not a cat person (dog person here) so all your videos are SO helpful to help us on our journey to find these 4 precious babies forever homes! Thank you so much!
This helped a lot thank you I'm so glad he doesn't bite me anymore and now where going to get a second kitten for him thank you
What did u do for it to not bite u like mine bites me everytime I try to pet them or lift them up.
This is an awesome video.
You explain in a clear, detailed and fun way. I learned a lot
thanks so much:)
Wow! It sounds! How insightful! Love all these practical tips! 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
Thank you for this video. I have a micro panther who is still a little overzealous with us. I appreciate these tips immensely
Omg this is adorable!! And very educational. Thank you Kitten Lady!! ❤
Love all the Kitten Lady videos! Cannot for the life of me figure out why anyone would vote this video down!?! Must be trolls (or dogs!)
Thank you for explaining these concepts so clearly. I think I have got it now and will follow your directions.
I wish I had this information when me and my friends had a kitten together for a period of time.
The kitten would hang out on the stairs and pounce on our toes or pants hems at random times.
Watching this video makes a lot of sense.
Best video and advice I’ve seen! I was scared I was going to have to send her away, she is so extremely playful and we adore her, but my kids have started locking her out of their rooms because her biting is incessant! Definitely have to try these things!!! And teach my kids how to play with her appropriately.
Hi, how are the kids with the cat?
@@barrymcockiner6969 hey! After a while he (yup found out he’s a dude) just stopped! Our Shady baby is so sweet and loves cuddles, he will climb into our laps and just lounge now! Plus the kids got sick of the biting and stopped allowing him to bite. We’d immediately stop playing with him and give him a toy 🙂
@@Kimmillion11 how long did it take for him to stop?
It took about two or three months. I believe he just had to get used to us! Back then he was teething too
I just became a first time foster mom to two six week old sisters yesterday. Your videos have helped me so much. They seems to have the litter box thing figured out, but I am monitoring. I let them out of their playpen and they are running around chasing each other. So cute!! I do have a wand, but need to let them catch it AND my hands are not a toy!! Tummy’s full and they are napping..
I am so happy I watched this video because I am a new cat mom. My kitten is a little over 2wks old and super playful, the only problem is she loves to bite and scratch. I want to teach her at an early age it is not okay to do that. Thank you for your tips and advice! I definitely will follow your tips.
It was very helpful… my craving for kittens has been relieved
I'm getting my kitten Davenzi tomorrow I've been waiting 5 weeks to bring him home I'm so excited!!!
My kitten enjoyed watching this video. It relaxed him and made him sleepy. 🥰
Thanks for the precious information 💙🤍💙🤍
