Struggling to Understand Your Cat’s Behavior? Here’s What You Need to Know

Biting

People think that usually if an animal bites you, it means they’re showing aggression and want to hurt you. But cats don’t think like this, in fact, they often bite their owners to express their affection. So, you shouldn’t be quick to judge and associate your cat’s biting with something negative. It’s possible that your cat is just being playful and wants to nibble you slightly because they see it as a way to bond with you. However, just like many other cat behaviors, biting can also sometimes be a sign that your cat feels distressed or scared. A cat might resort to biting your finger or any other surface to release any pent-up frustrations. If you’re having a problem with this behavior, there are many training exercises you can do to stop your cat from biting you. This will teach your cat that they shouldn’t be biting anything unless it’s playtime.
