I have one cat that bites for no reason either.
She's about 7 - a Maine Coone Cat.
You can pat her head, but 75% of the time if you touch her body, she bites.
And bites hard at that, and can easily draw blood.
I've been trying for years to get her to stop, with no luck. I am told that it's a breed thing, and or, she's a wild cat. (She was bought from a pet store at age 6 weeks, so I don't get the wild bit.)
Usually if she bites me, I either put my finger right in her mouth, which she can't do anything then because cats can only rip with their teeth (unlike dogs who can crush). Or I pick her up and hiss back at her, which usually only freaks her out and gets her mad.
Usually the best thing is to ignore her till she calms down.
