CATS PLAY A LOT
Cats love to play. When they are stimulated, they can bite, but it is simply a game for them. These bites are not at all aggressive but they can still hurt you.
AN AFFECTIONATE CAT THAT BITES YOU
More rarely, cats can show you their affection by nibbling you. It is surprising but a cat can both purr and bite you!
A BITE TO ASK FOR ATTENTION
When he is hungry, your pet can also bite you. This is a rather unsubtle way of telling you that he wants attention. He is expressing his needs, in this case that he wants to eat or that he wants to be petted.
AN OVERFLOW OF EMOTIONS
Like us, cats can be overwhelmed by their emotions. When they suddenly feel too much, they may behave in a completely unusual way.
YOUR CAT MAY BE STRESSED
For example, they may roll around on the floor or bite you. Most of the time, if a cat bites you in a slightly more aggressive way than usual, it is probably because it is stressed or afraid. This is a defense mechanism for the animal.
PAIN SOMEWHERE?
More rarely, if your cat bites you, it may be because it feels pain or discomfort somewhere. If this happens repeatedly, be sure to consult a veterinarian to make sure your pet is in good health.
DEFENDING ITS TERRITORY
When it chooses a territory, the cat holds on to it and defends it. If you sit in the place where it sits regularly, the cat may bite you as if to defend its territory.
WHAT TO DO IF YOUR KITTEN STARTS BITE YOU?
Kittens are always more energetic. They love to nibble their owners’ hands to play.
A BAD HABIT
Except that by taking up this habit, the cat may choose to opt for biting as a means of communicating with its owner.
BUY TOYS FOR YOUR KITTENS
To avoid this, channel their energy with appropriate toys. Your cat will then become a well-behaved adult and you will avoid injury via biting.
BEWARE OF BITES
Cat bites can be more or less deep. When they are, the bacteria present in the cat’s mouth can infect the wound and put you in danger.
DISINFECT THE WOUND IMMEDIATELY
In this case, do not waste time and clean the area with soap and water. Then apply disinfectant and cover the wound with a bandage.
If you own a cat, you probably play with it. Sometimes, it may bite you. This can mean many things, and that is exactly what we are going to see in this article.
