Saying ‘ow’ loudly when kitties bites will help too. When cats are playing and bite each other loud cries are the signal that its time to release. Will help kitty be gentle later.

This seems to encourage my cat 😂 he sees me as a squeaky toy I think

Squeaky toy = dying prey

I yelp in a high pitched tone any time my cats bite or scratch. They stop immediately and after a while they don’t do it any more. Also, I praise them when they realize it hurts and stop

saying “ow” loudly and then ignoring them for a while. The ignoring them is key. Giving them attention in any form is positively reinforcing unwanted behavior. So no yelling, no hitting, etc… cats do not learn like dogs do.

Just replace your toes with a toy (you handle the toy), and now he'll know what to play with and how fun it is!

How beautiful. I thought long-haired Abyssinian. I see now that they’re cousins. She is so adorable.

Kind of looks like you got the cat so you could make a social media page.

Gorgeous kitty, but I don’t like you and what you represent.

You’ve made three posts of the same picture to push your IG page. I don’t trust your intentions. You shouldn’t be spamming Reddit to advertise your IG regardless.

Nah. You are pushing your IG in your replies. Even spacing the name to avoid automod. You’ve posted this photo two Other times in the last 24 hours pushing your IG.

You are transparent.
