Cat Clicker Training

How to train a cat to not bite?

We adopted a 5 year old, de-clawed cat from a shelter. He doesn't hiss, but he bites. I will be playing with him, and he will hug my arm with both paws, then bite my hand, hard. He does this a lot. I have tried tapping him on the nose, and making a startled noise. Sometimes he is the sweetest kitty, purring and loving to be petted. Other times, his ears go back, and he starts biting.

I have successfully clicker trained a dog. I'm wondering if this would be a good method to train a cat. Entice him to bite, then when he doesn't bite, click and give him a treat?

The great thing about cats is that they are independent and hunters much like lions and tigers. The best training I have found is to withdraw all attention when they bite. They will come back for the attention. Cats know their parameters and they appreciate love and respect. I had a great cat for 20 years. She slept on my back when I was trimming the garden area on my hands and knees. She knew where I drew the lines and we had mutual respect for one another. Unfortunately my reward was a dead bird or mouse on my back door step. Have fun with your cat.
