Anyone know?

Hello, I am replying to Moosmom to thank you for that pennies in a can suggestion...it worked like a charm when NOTHING else did! I just got a new kitten, Marlon, and right from the start he was attacking my fingers. I tried the yelling, and he would just ignore me. I tried the spray bottle, and it made no difference, and I would get him soaked...I actually think he liked it, despite the fact that cats aren't supposed to like water. I tried bopping him on the head and I think he thought it was just a game. I was desperate for any suggestions and came across Moosmom reply, and thought it sounded like a good idea. I said to myself, "If this works, I'm gonna ask this person for their address so I can send them some flowers..." And low and behold, it actually worked! The pennies in a can is a brilliant idea...Marlon hates it. I use it whenever he's biting me, or scaling the furniture, or attacking my feet, and he goes running every time. I can't say enough about it...thank you soooooooooo much Moosmom- your suggestion worked wonderfully, and saved me a lot of aggravation!

Well, never play with a cat with your hands. The cat may think that you are trying to play with her and will join to fun by biting & scratching. But if you want her to stop, simply yelled "NO!" or make a loud sound. You can also do it the old fashion way: wet Mittens with some water. Good luck!
