Why does my cat keep biting me

Many people are extremely envious when they see a gentle and lovely little angel in someone else’s home. I finally have a cat of my own. One moment it looked cute, but the next moment it turned into a little devil with claws and claws, scratching and biting me. Even if you ignore it on purpose, it will suddenly jump out and bite you!

Why is this so?
Do you know: love is deep and gnashing of teeth! There are many types of cat aggression, and each type has a different cause. Generally speaking, the most common types of attacks that can harm the owner are:

Socialized aggression

The aggressive behaviors of these domestic pet cats are mostly play aggression and support aggression. Let me talk about how to deal with these two types of attacks.

Promote aggressive behavior

As for aggressive behavior, it means that the cat thinks it is the boss and will bite its owner when it gets upset. Additionally, aggressive cats often don’t like hugs from their owners.
Do you think I’m going to tell you what to do? Haha, unfortunately there is no better way to correct this behavior. The only thing an owner can do is to pay more attention to the cat’s condition when getting along with it. As soon as you notice your cat is upset, move away from it or distract it with a toy or treat. Don’t try to fight back after being bitten by a cat. Otherwise, the cat will think you are resisting it, and its aggressive behavior will become more serious.

Game aggression

Biting and scratching are normal behaviors for cats when they are young and playing with others. Generally speaking, aggressive play behavior gradually decreases with age. Because cats are protected by their fur, minor bites and scratches will not cause harm to their companions. Moreover, kittens can gradually learn to control the intensity of bites and scratches while playing with their mother and companions.
However, when raising cats now, most kittens are taken away from their mothers and companions after two months of age and brought back to their new owners. As a result, most kittens haven’t had time to fully learn the correct way to play from their mother and littermates. When living with a new owner, the kitten will naturally treat the owner as an object of play. Moreover, human skin is not protected by thick hair, and uncontrolled biting and scratching by kittens will inevitably cause harm to the owner. Without proper teaching, kittens may never learn the correct amount of play throughout their lives.

If you want to correct your cat’s biting behavior, you need to pay attention to the following four points:

1. If the kitten bites its owner, you can educate it like a female cat. When a kitten pounces on its owner, the owner can imitate the mother cat’s cry, quickly grab the skin behind the kitten’s neck, lift the kitten up, and quickly interrupt the kitten’s play and aggressive behavior, which can reduce the kitten’s deformation. A tendency to become more irritable. Dangerous risks. provocative. Game aggression.
2. Completely ignore the cat’s aggressive play behavior. When a cat bites, immediately turn away from the cat without giving the cat any reaction. If the cat insists, go to another room and close the door, completely cutting off contact with the cat. Wait for the cat to calm down for a while, then come back and interact with the cat.
3. Do not play games with the cat with your hands. The owner’s hands only appear when feeding and petting. Never use your hands to tease a cat into playing games to prevent the cat from treating the owner’s hands as game objects that can pounce and bite.
4. Use toys to play interactive games with cats. Usually buy some cat teasing sticks, rope balls, marionettes, etc., use these toys to interact with cats, guide cats to pounce on toys, and satisfy cats’ game needs and hunting desires.
In the early stages of corrective training, you must maintain sufficient patience and resolutely implement the training methods. Over time, you and your cat will be able to get along happily~
