Try giving the cat chewy toys, maybe with catnip or valerian root in them. The best toy might just be an old (clean) rag with a wad of catnip tied inside. Knot it really well, and let the cat chomp on the thing and tear it apart. Most biting is just displaced aggression or play behavior. Too bad you don't have a mouse problem - sounds like he'd enjoy hunting. Trip to the pet store?
