A cat bites when petted: what should the pet owner do
Sometimes cats even bite their owners.
In this article, we will tell you why this happens and what can be done about it.
Why do cats bite
One of the reasons why cats bite their owners is the desire to show who is more important in the house.
This is how they achieve the subjugation of their relatives, and they try to act with people, demonstrating strength and aggression, as is inherent in instinct.
A cat may come up and bite for no reason or pay back for an insult.
Often cats want to attract the owner’s attention with this behavior, to show that they need something.
They may bite if they want to eat or drink if they feel uncomfortable.
This is how they show that they are bored and lack attention; they can take revenge for past grievances.
Sometimes cats bite your hand gently, without causing pain.
Cats are characterized by mutual grooming. This is a behavior pattern in which animals wash each other as a sign of friendship.
During hygiene procedures, cats not only lick the fur, but also lightly bite the skin.
Your pet considers you an equal and a close friend if he licks your hand and bites you in a friendly manner.
If your cat's behavior has changed significantly, consult your veterinarian.
The doctor will check to see if your pet is in good health.
