My cat bites me playfully. Should I hiss at her to make her stop?

Question

Should I hiss at my cat when she does bad behaviour (playfully bite me)? I thought imitating another (mother) cat's hissing would be the right way to do it. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Female | spayed | 9 months and 22 days old | 9 lbs

Good thought, but no, hissing will just confuse her because you're not a cat and you're not going to effectively communicating anything (expect that you're very confusing human and maybe a little scary). What you want to do when she is biting you is remove the fun, which is you. Get up and walk away. Don't keep playing with her after she bites. Good luck!
