My 8 mnth old ragdoll cat is biting very aggressively? can i stop this behaviour?

Question

My ragdoll Tosca, will run up to the front door to greet people when they come over, he will rub up against their legs looking like he wants a pat, but then when he does get a pat, Tosca will jump up and grab them around their arm and bite down hard. He will then continue to wag his tail and follow my guests around the house. I really want to stop this behaviour, ive never had a cat before and got a ragdoll because i had heard they were ver affectionate.......

Answer 1

When he does this tap him on the nose and firmly say no. I have a ragdoll that is 14 years old and they do grow out of it but you do have to be firm with them. To the others cats are real pets. It doesn't take much intelligence to roll over anytime someone tells you to like dogs do; It takes REAL intelligence to do what the h**l you want to do and the human still keeps you and makes an effort to please you as cats do...THAT IS WHAT I CALL A REAL PET!

Answer 2

cats are animals that come when they want and do wat they want!

if u want a real pet get a dog!

Answer 3

Young kittens between the ages of 3 weeks old and 8 months old will be teething off and on, and will have very strong needs to bite.  Just like baby children, kittens are born without teeth, start getting their first baby teeth at about 3-4 weeks old, then they will lose their baby teeth and have their adult teeth come in up until the age of about 8 months old.  So the trick here is not to keep them from biting; but rather, to provide them appropriate items to bite.  We use heavy-duty plastic drinking straws with our kittens, (being careful to cut off any bitten ends and discard the entire straw before it becomes dangerous, as with any toy), and train them from the start that toys and straws are purr-rectly fine to bite, but human body parts are off-limits!  If a kitten learns this from the start, there is hardly ever an inappropriate biting behavior as an adult.  Some cats start biting out of frustration after they have been de-clawed.  Some cats start biting out of misplaced aggression, which usually can be countered by providing the cat a feline playmate, and/or providing them more cat toys, cat furniture, and making their environment more stimulating for them.  Any time the kitten bites you make a loud “yowling” sound. If you’ve ever witnessed a cat get hurt, you will probably know what this sounds like. After you yowl, walk away and ignore the kitten. Never yell at or hit a cat. At all times, it is critical that you be thinking and acting on the firm belief that "toys and straws are for biting; human hands are for giving and receiving love.”
