hmm that might have been a better strategy than i used. my first cat isnt a biter but she was very liberal with her use of claws when i got her. she would have them out for anything from cuddles to playtime. i got her to be more careful around me by just playing up my pain response every time she got me with her claws. id jump and yelp like she really hurt me. she eventually learned but it would have been cool if she learned faster lol.
