OK, so this is wild. I saw this on social media and I gave it a try and IT WORKS. If you make bunny ears with your hands, your cat will not bite you. He could be in the middle of a biting spree, and this will stop him in his tracks.
HOWEVER, he was so frustrated that he then turned on the nearest book, ripped about five chunks off the back cover, and then went for my knitting basket. All that pent-up aggression had to go somewhere ?!
Touch your 2 middle fingers to your thumb so you're almost making a cat face at them.
I suspect that's why it works. My cat kept trying to get around to bite my wrist, and it mirrors their behaviour with each other - it's rare to play-bite another on the face, they usually reach around to the neck
My cat was completely unimpressed, but maybe I was doing it wrong? The next time she tries to rip the flesh from my hands, I'll try again. (Honestly, I'm a little scared... 🫣 She never gives up, no matter what.)
