How can I stop my cat from biting me aggressively when I pet him?

Question

My cat keeps biting me when I stroke him. Sometimes it's really playful but over times he suddenly becomes really aggressive and I can't get him off me. He cat hurt my hands quite badly. How can I discourage him from doing this? Pet's info: Cat | British Shorthair | Male | neutered

Hi there! The best thing you can do in this case is ignore him when he becomes aggressive before he bites. Walk up and into another room. He'll get the picture soon that you do not reward that behavior. Also, do not give him the opportunity to become aggressive or bite. Keep your hands away while playing and have a limit on how rambunctious things get. I think this will help get the boll rolling!
