Why does my cat like to bite me?
Have you ever experienced that when you were petting a cat one minute before, they would start biting your fingers the next minute? You start to wonder if you made the cat hurt and annoyed them? In fact, biting is also a way of communication for cats. Biting has meanings such as expressing like, fear, and defense. Therefore, a correct understanding of the meaning of a cat's behavior will improve the emotional connection between you and the cat. This article will introduce you several reasons why cats bite you
1. The cat likes you
When you keep petting your cat, the cat will whisper and bite your finger gently. This is an expression of how cats like you.
2. Excessive stimulation
When you pet your cat too hard or you pet the cat for a long time, the cat will bite you hard. This is because the cat’s hair follicles are more sensitive, and prolonged petting will irritate him. At the same time, the cat will also show tail swinging and shaking, which is a manifestation of the cat's uncomfortable feeling.
3. Communication signal
When your cat keeps biting you, this is something he wants to tell you, such as you should get up and play with him or he wants to eat.
4. Warning
When your cat was playing with you, the cat suddenly gave you a bite. This is the cat warning you that he doesn't like the way you play with him now. On the other hand, the cat actually loves you too, because he doesn't directly bite you hard.
