Lula, who was quite bitey when we got her is now settling down. From what I researched a stern 'no!' Along with pointing or a clap of hands & then walking away giving no affection for 5-10 minutes, makes them realise that their behaviour isn't going to get them what they want. We've now got to the point where if Lula does bite, she knows she's done wrong so stops herself going too far.
Should be easier to train out of a kitten. There is quite a lot of advice if you Google 'how to stop my cat biting', including how to stop them clawing & biting you when they play. Good luck, & thank you for the fostering, it's a good thing you're doing. -
Any tips on methods would be great
..basically what @betty said, has been working for our cats if they were bitey.
I fucked up with the last one (my dad got) - he insisted the little, rather shy thing needed "training" to be able to defend itself against feral cats in the area (who indeed are attacking / stealing food), so I was "fighting" with her a lot in her early days.
She learned something!

yeah they they dont have a great deal of space, so it frees up a space for a more needy cat at the adoption pace while he tries to be less bity, he not feral just has a habit of attacking hands and feet. Any tips on methods would be great
