I have a F-4 Bengal cat that is starting to lung and nip at people.

Question

He is not more than a year old and this just started to happen. Where can I get tips online on how to brake him of this habit?

Answer 1

I am the owner of two neutered male bengals, ages 5 and 2.  We purchased the two year old in March from a breeder, as a kitten she had kept but decided to sell.  He was not well socialized and once he started being part of the family would bite constantly.  I read on a group site that putting your finger in his mouth when he tries to bite and touching the roof of his mouth would discourage this behavior.  Every time he started to bite, I would tickle the roof of his mouth with my fingernail gently and he would immediately stop biting.  It only took about two weeks to completely stop this behavior.  Good luck with your Bengal.  Hope this helps.
