My cat bites for attention or when she's annoyed. How can I stop it?

We have a cat who is almost 2 years old. She is very sweet but she is a biter. She seems to bite when she wants your attention but also when she doesn't want it!

I recommend you put some Feliway diffusers in your house and do some environmental enrichment for her. Usually these two things help. ( https://www.feliway.com/us/Products/FELIWAY-CLASSIC-Diffuser ) ( thedrakecenter.com/materials/environmental-enrichment-indoor-cats ) Hope this helps. If you have more questions you can always opt for a private consultation where we can chat back and forth. That way you can ask as many questions as you'd like. Best wishes.
