Question
My kittens start biting on me whenever I pet them-what can I do to stop this behavior? Thankyou for your time.

Answer
What i find that works for ME is that when a kitten is doing something that i dont like I point my finger right in there face and give a firm NOOO make sure u say no kinda long like NOOOOOOOOO firmly and make sure u point the finger, now of course its not gonna work right away so you'll have to do it every time he does it and after u say no walk away and ignore him for about a half hour.  this lets the cat know that its not ok to bite.
