Can you stop a kitten biting in play?

[helsbels666]

I have a 6 month old kitten and whilst i love him to bits he is very boystrous in play. He bites verociously to the point were he has broken the skin. The vet advised me to shout in a high pitched voice at him but he just carries on! He even bites peoples legs when they walk past and won't let go. It's embarrassing now as he is so loving and sweet in every other way! Any suggestions?

Mine did the same for a while. Apparently the best way to discipline them is to clap your hands together very loudly when they do something wrong - the shock should stop them, and accompany it with a firm 'no'.

Also, the more attention you give the cat when they do this, the more often they will do it as they got older, rather than growing out of it, which they should in time.
