The answer below is BS!!!

I am a cat expert (16 years exp.) and I will tell you Why Your Cat Lightly Bites You...

Light biting is NOT a sign of POWER! Cats like to play fight/ rough house... If there are no other cats (or dogs) in the home they will view you as their sibling... My cat.., does this even when I have over 50 toys for her to play with... I accept this nature though and rough house/ play fight back...

Your cat is only sharpening their skills... they do this through play fighting, stalking, etc... Although it is NOT recommended to accept this form of behavior... Especially with kittens... If you allow this play fighting behavior.., the cat may forget their own strength.., and hurt you...

Again.., the cat is not showing you who is boss.., unless the cat is drawing blood and lock jawing you.., remember when a cat bites it locks on hard.., they are merely play fighting... To stop this behavior.., simply bring your hand closer to your body and firmly say "NO" to your feline... Cat's understand pitches not words...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

it is a sign of power. the cat is showing you who's boss. the way to get the cat to stop is to not move your hand, or whatever it bit, when it does it. when someone quickly moves their hand away it is showing the cat that they are in control. even though it may hurt, the way to teach your cat to stop is to not pull back when it does it so that it knows you are the toughest one. you could also keep a spray bottle handy and give a quick squirt every time it tries to bite.

Can you get rabies from my friends kitten who licks it's fur and lives outside I had a mosquito bite and I touched him but I dont know if the saliva went in the mosquito bite?

In the first place, you cannot get rabies from a kitten unless it has rabies. If it is healthy, you have nothing to worry about. In the second place, it is very unlikely bacteria would have survived the trip from the kitten's tongue to its fur to your hand. And third, the mosquito bite is not an open wound (unless you have really scratched it open) that would allow bacteria to enter your body.

Why does my kitten bite everything i have a fireplace made of stone and she bites that and there is marble in my home and she bites that too why?

== == * Kittens can be teething and they will often even playfully bite their owner. Each cat has their own personality and some can be just plain silly and have a fetish for certain things in your home. In time the kitten will grow out of this. In the meantime get a small rubber baby teething ring (nothing with a gel inside of it) and put it in the freezer and then give it to your kitten to chew on. You can also try other toys to distract your kitten.
