Hey guys
Got a question for all you cat whisperers. I have a 2 year old male cat. He's very sociable and talks all the time. He runs to the door to greet me when I come home and follows me around the house all day long. Ever since I got him, we would play rough. I start rubbing him hard and flinging him around and he would just "play bite" and go along. He likes to play more aggressively. However he is starting to take it too far. He is biting harder now and scratching and it's hurting me. He even will now just come up and bite me or scratch me to get me to play with him.
So how can I teach him where the limits are (not to bite so hard and the difference between "play time" and "petting time")? Thanks in advance!
