It can be challenging to punish a cat for biting since they do so as a defense mechanism. Additionally, punishing your cat in any way can be against the terms of humane societies or breeders. One possible punishment is to withhold affection from your cat and give them time outs in their carriers. You can also try applying a topical anesthetic like witch hazel or meat tenderizer on the affected area before gently rubbing it with an ice cube. If the biting persists, you may have to consider taking more serious measures such consulting a veterinarian or pet behavior expert for proper advice.  Finally, one should note that some amount of biting is necessary for cats during playtime as it teaches them proper socialization skills and helps strengthen their bond with their owners.

To punish your cat for biting you, start by separating them so that they are not in a situation where the behavior can be reinforced. Additionally, redirect any bad behaviors into positive behaviors by introducing puzzle toys and interactive treat-dispensing games to provide them with enough mental and physical stimulation so that they do not exhibit unwanted behaviors. You should also use positive reinforcement by rewarding good behavior such as sitting or laying quietly when asked. Finally, if necessary, use firm negative reinforcement such as mildly scolding your cat and/or removing privileges in an authoritative manner. Be sure to follow up each instance of negative reinforcement with plenty of praise and attention when it is earned.
