another tip -

If the cat was not socialiesd to humans between the ages of 6 and 12 weeks, then it is not used to being petted. And petting can get it overstimulated, which is why you can pet it and suddenly get bit. Don't pet for more than 3 strokes, then stop. So it is a pleasurable experience. And over time the cat can get used to the feeling.

Good Luck with this lucky kitty!
