My Cat is a Biter

Tweet

I have a huge problem. My cat is a biter. It's like he's always angry about something, like: "Don't touch me" (bite), or "How dare you stop petting me" (bite), or "I just cleaned myself, how dare you mess up my beautiful work" (bite). The worst problem is that when he wants attention and is in a loving mood, he is the sweetest cat in all the world! I attribute this issue to the fact that he was weened by two rather large men who think it's funny when kittens bite them so they forgot to teach the cat not to bite when his teeth became stronger! Now here I am trying to undue 2 years of improper cat handling, literally. I have the scars to prove it! I've tried finding cat whisperers, you know those people who say they can talk to cats, and I believe them. But they are expensive. The vets simply say, "he'll grow out of it." But if he hasn't by the time I decide to have children there is no way this cat can be around infants! The real issue may be that this cat has learned to solve his problems by biting or has an aggressive nature that I just can't seem to fix or find a solution to! The worst is when I attempt to discipline him. He hates that the most.
