He really needs someone to play with!
These cats are not loners.

We are having the exact same problem with our 3 1/2 month old Bacci. He almost never bites me, but when it comes to my girlfriend he goes for blood as well. He will stalk her and jump on her legs and bite them, or climb under the covers while she sleeps and bite her back and / or legs / feet. We have tried the squirt bottle and the "NO / STOP / DOWN" as well to no avail, as he doesn't seem to learn anything (still tries to climb behind the TV / stereo / any other wires). We would never dream of giving him up but would love to figure out a way to calm him down a bit from this biting frenzy.

Sometimes it really seems, as meomyx said, that he knows she doesn't like it and does it just for fun.

Thanks Everybody for your advice. Buddy seems to be doing better now that I try not to make a big thing of his bitting. He is very loving and we've found that he is more likely to bit when excited after eating and in a play mood or when we have to discipline. I have to remember that Buddy is going through his "Terrible Twos" stage and it is normal that he is in love with his teeth. THIS TOO WILL PASS.

A question: As his perm. teeth come in will they be less sharp (considering that all cats are inbred as hunters)? Also, will changing him over to dry food later on help? I'm hesitant to change his Science Diet (Chicken/Liver), which he loves to a SD dry until he is older; he is only 4-1/2 months.

Again, it was so good to get expert advice since most vets don't understand the Bengal personality and see his behavior as "normal kitten". HUGS
