Is there any real way to discipline a cat?

My kitten has been biting a lot and I was wondering if you can actually discipline a cat. I read that spraying them with water is cruel and betrays trust. I think she might be teething because she's never bitten anyone (or anything) before. With my dog, time outs work, but they don't seem to be working with Chloé.

How do you discipline your cat?

What works best?

Do you have any recommendations for items to buy for teething?

Wait until the teething passes. Should be a month or so.

Then, when the cat is no longer teething, just clap your hands sharply and say NO clearly firmly and loud.....or put two or three small rocks or marbles in a closed metal can and shake it and say a clear loud NO; they hate sudden loud noises.
