Why does a female cat scream when her male cat bites her?
She will assume a head-down, rear-up position (called lordosis), while the male bites her neck and begins the mating process. When removed, the male’s barbed penis evidently creates pain for the female, causing her to emit a blood-curdling scream. The moral here: have your cats sterilized! Cats in the midst of a fight may also scream.
Why does my cat chatter her teeth all the time?
You might have heard your cat chatter her teeth while longingly staring out a window at a sparrow or squirrel in a tree.

At first she just used to bite when we were playing with her, but now she often does even when we pet her or pick her up she bites constantly.

What happens if you bleed after a kitten bites you?
As most of us know rabies means 100% death. Hence, if a kitten bites (and you bleed), then yes, it is very very harmful. What I did after the bite? I continued feeding the kitten and got her spayed and vaccinated (both tetanus and ARV) after she turned 6 months old. Her behavior changed drastically and both of us love each other. Problem solved.
How can I get my kittens to stop biting?
Try pushing into the bite. Prey does not act this way and it confuses the kitten. I got both my kittens to stop biting by pushing slightly (gently, not meanly) into the jaw every time they bit me, and it worked within a week. Another option is spray bottle.
