Can my kitten bite me???

Question

Answer 1

Perhaps the worst that you might get is what is known as a 'love bite'.  And if the kitten does that, you will have a hard time even finding a mark.  It is only play, but you do want to gently discourage that or it can hurt a bit more as your kitten grows.  Just push the kitten away when he/she does the love bite, and say NO!  That is often all that is needed.  

Usually new kitten owners are worried about getting scratched, as kitten claws are like needles, and sometimes they don't retract them fully, or use them to hold on better as they learn.

Answer 2

yeah it can bite. but it basically play bites.

it doesn't hurt that bad.

Answer 3

Yeah, but only in a nibbling sort of way. It won't hurt.

Answer 4

just like play bites though nothing big.

Answer 5

It Depends really. If you get a kitten you should see how friendly the mother is. Then if the mother let's you pick up or touch her babies you might have no problem. But if you do not treat a cat the way it is supposed to be it might. Sometimes also if you get a kitten that's really young it would prob be better. Because it will get used to you. And don't hold on to a kitten and bring it near a dog it might get mad and bite u or scratch you. The real answer to this question is Maybe. Like I said it prob wouldn't unless you harm it in some way or something. I hope my advice works!

Answer 6

Yes a kitten can bite you.  I have some 4 month old kittens and one of them bit me (on accident) when I was giving her a treat.  She bit me right under the fingernail and it hurt too.

Answer 7

Yeah...it has teeth...

Answer 8

Yes, it can, though it probably won't break the skin to make you bleed. You can prevent most of this by buying some toys for the kitten to play with.

Answer 9

Yep. i love kittens!

Answer 10

Kittens are quite vicious and ferocious!  And very cute too.

Answer 11

Since cats hate everyone and everything, it WILL bite you, even if it doesn't have teeth.

Answer 12

yes, if your scared get a fish. they cant bite you.

Answer 13

If it has teeth

Answer 14

Let's think about something...cats have teeth, so therefore, so do kittens. So this kitten might feel obliged to chomp on your fingers...or alternativley, shred your furniture and curtains with its CLAWS.
