The first thing I would do is neuter him!
If you pet your cat long enough, it can trigger the cat to respond in a frenzy of swats and what we like to call “love bites.” To him, this is just a natural thing to do. To you, a human, it’s a session of petting your cat morphing into a lapful of teeth and claws…ouch.
The good news is that you can usually diminish the behavior through some training. Part of the training is disciplining yourself to stay alert when petting him so you can recognize his body signals and know when to stop. Stop petting him BEFORE he starts getting too restless and frisky. A real simple body signal to watch for is the tail. When it starts twitching and thumping around, he’s getting ready to be a little wild.
The other part of the training is reinforcing his good behavior with praise rather than pats and strokes. If he’s on your lap, talk to him in soothing, loving tones instead of petting him. We cats LOVE to be talked to; we don’t know every word being said, but we sure know tone of voice. With time, your cat will learn that you…and your lap…are no place for him to let his wild side out.
