Your cat is either un happy with something, or you!!
If she is a kitten then like the other person said she could definately be teething!! But there is a large chance it has something to do with you(not saying your horrible or anything)
Try starting by convincing him/her with food. Buy little cat treats, or a cute little mouse toy. Be gentle with her and do not curse or yell at her. Keep your voice at a nice level. Also talk to your cat. It doesnt matter if you sound like a looney because i am always speaking to my cats in all sorts of weird voices!! But you have to communicate with them!!
When him/her comes close to you either by giving it food, gently pat it or stroke it nicely. Do this for about 10/20 seconds a day and build it up!!!
Be nice to her. Communicate with her,play with her and gently touch her.

Make sure you're playing with her enough. She might be trying to play with you; that's how kittens initiate play with one another. Give her plenty of toys and one-on-one time, make sure she has something other than you to chew!
You might want to take her to see the vet. Because this is new behaviour, it might be a sign that something is wrong with her health. If she's experiencing pain, for instance, lashing out might be her way of expressing it.

I make sure he knows whos the boss of him. You make sure that your cat knows that you control her, but not so much so that she is scared of you. Don't ignore her, but don't be to annoying and clingish. Sometimes a SMALL spanking will work. Then after you spank the cat, you just put her on your stomach and just pet her. It's usually girl cats that are skiddish. Not sure why. But I have an adult female cat whos skiddish. It's weird. But my little kitten boy, you can make a big noise and he won't even look at you. So maybe shes shy. Just make sure that she acknowledges you. [ juliet132132's advice column | Ask juliet132132 A Question ]
