you flinch harder than usual when your cat bites. i did this and its taught my cat to go lighter on me. your cat will do the same with you if she loves you enough
I thought this once with the first kitten that was all mine and I had to spend the next several years de escalating the situation so it didn't look like my arms had been in a woodchipper. Lesson learned.
My most recent cat is really good with his claw discipline. We still rough house but unless he gets really excited he hardly ever bites or scratches hard enough to leave a mark.
Hiss at them and stop playing. No shouting, no physical punishment, just hiss and ignore them for a bit
Bite them back, and do it hard. That's how kittens learn not to mess with mom.
Beat it, if that fails throw it in the trash and get a new one
>grab by neck
>pin them down
>don't actually strike or harm them but make your message clear

Have you tried not being retarded?
You adjust how and how much you play
Shouldn't you know doctor chud?
>how do I teach the cat not to play when playing?
I have always had good luck just biting the cat back.
Keep an air horn close by
Exclaim loudly and sharply so they know they hurt you
Thanks
>revealing weakness to a cat
You'll just teach it to harm you more
most cats don't want to damage their tin opener
