How can I get Mina to quit biting people? She has drawn blood on me twice. I have tried everything I can think of including the water bottle and everything. She just keeps doing it.
A friend of my suggested diluting some Cayenne pepper in some water and everytime she bite put a drop of it on her tounge, but I don't know if that is a good idea or not.

Any suggestions.

Perhaps you should try a calming air freshener such as Feliway. (http://www.petsmart.com/global/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=84552444178 0659&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=2534374302023690&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302033556&bmUID=1100634813373)

Feliway uses synthetic feline facial pheromones to end urine marking and scratching and to comfort cats in stressful, unfamiliar situations. The Plug-In unit disperses a consistent flow of Feliway in areas up to 650 square feet. Place the unit in the room(s) your cat frequents for best results. Feliway is odorless to humans.

I've never tried it but I plan on getting some when we introduce a couple of more kitties to our family. It's supposed to work wonders. Other than that, I have no suggestions.

The only thing is I don't think its stress for her. She is an only kitten. (which I'm hoping to change with my landlord's permission)

Anyone got other suggestions.

Whenever the babies would start to bite or use claws, we quickly grab a toy to give them and stop playing with them. Knock on wood, the problem seems to have resolved!!
