Toe Biting Cat...

My cat Oreo, who is 1 yr and 7 months old, loves to bite my toes. But only my toes! No one else in the family. He starting to do whatever he can to get at them and I can't seem to stop him. It started about 2 months ago and happens when ever. I can have my slippers on and he literally bites down on the slipper and pulls it off to attack my toes. He has even tried taking my socks off. I live in Los Angeles so I'm usually barefoot like 90% of the time, so usually he has no problem attacking them. Anyone else have a cat that does this? Anyone got any ideas on how to get him to stop? I've tried everything that we have used to get him to stop doing things like getting on the table, climbing up the christmas tree, climbing the curtains, and other things. This is the only thing that I can not get him to stop doing.

Try staying completely still while scolding him. While it may hurt a lot, the cat will eventually get bored if he thinks the toes aren't fun toys. For whatever reason, your kitten thinks your toes are toys. Try not to go completely bare foot as often, use open toed shoes if you have too, but try and make your toes less appealing.
