My kitten bites me playfully. Should I let her or train her not to?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Russian Blue | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 2 days old

Should I let my kitten bite me when she's playing? (I mean, when she bites without hurting because she's just playing)

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I wouldn't let Halley bite you, even when playing. You want to train puppies and kittens not to do that. Always use a toy or stop playing when they start biting you. Biting does decrease as they get older. Good luck!
