The water bottle method should work just fine. Or you can use a water gun, which is also a good tool. My girlfriend is a fan of the 'sticking the finger into its mouth' method but I just can't do it- it just feels weird. What if you make your poor kitty throw up (I don't know if they have gag reflexes but...)?
Then again I don't see too many problems with my cat biting me. I mean, all the bleeding and stuff can get annoying. But on the other hand wouldn't it be nice just to leave a little bit of instinct in your kitty before taming it completely to a harmless home pet, so it still knows how to ambush little rats, birds or insects when it is having its little adventures out there?
(And usually if you are paying attention when patting/playing with your cat, you can *usually* get your fingers away before it bites you real hard)
