Haha. Used to have a cat like that too! Though the petting was very brief, and non-existent to some. But all it took was me man handling her for a few years to "break" her. (:
It was more me picking her up regardless of the scratching and the biting. Then giving treats to the monster. Later she would just accept the picking up part because it became part of her life. Plus the treats helped.
