    Reward Affection

    Some cats become overstimulated while being petted and may bite. You can train a feline to accept more attention by looking for warning signs of her annoyance while you stroke her--her ears will flick, her tail will twitch, and her head will swivel to look at your hand. Take your hand away before she bites and give her a food treat.
