The past is less important than the present, with a cat. The biting behaviour usually isn't permanent unless the cat is given positive response. A pat is positive. Don't pat after a bite. Taste is positive. Human skin has a surface taste. Wear gloves with a bad taste, or add 9V source. Can't do much about occasional experimental bites though, unless you're willing to wean them off tasty food. ;-) --=20 James Cameron http://quozl.netrek.org/ --=20 http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
