Find Out Why Does Your Cat Bite You

You have settled into your favourite armchair, maybe reading the last chapters of a exciting novel.

All of a sudden you are privy to the imploring stare of your cat sitting at your feet. You invite her onto your lap. Softly you start to stroke her and your cat signals her appreciation with an audible purr.

One hand holding your book the other hand continuing to pet your mouser, you again get lost in your novel. All is well in the world with you and with your cat. All of a sudden your cat bites your hand! Why did kitty do that? Why did she bite the hand that strokes her? The pros don't agree on exactly why it is that some cats enjoy being petted, but finish up biting. One thing that they do agree on is that when kitty bites at you, it is a sure sign that she has decided that she has had enough stroking. Cats differ in the quantity of petting they can accept, and not all cats reply by biting when they had enough. Could you've known a bite was on its way? Yes, there are commonly signs that cats give before biting. And, if you hadn't been so wrapped up in reading your novel, you might have paid heed to your small pets caution. If kitty's tail starts to twitch, in a rolling flick, watch out! She is getting ready to munch at your hand. If your cats ears start curving in the direction of the back of her head, or flatten against her head, that sure is a warning a bite is coming. If you spotted any of these signals, simply stop stroking your cat. What you shouldn't do is punish your cat for biting your hand.

Cats are likely to spot the punishment with you instead of with their cat behavior problem. If you miss a warning sign and kitty manages to get her jaws around your hand, try and withstand the enticement to drag your hand away or push your cat away.

Chances are that your cat will not sink her teeth in, she has got her message across, and you have stopped petting her.

If you try and push your cat away it's probable that she's going to fight with your hand leading to peel punctures for you. ( An animal bite can become infected quite easily, if your cat does draw blood clean up the wound scrupulously and search out the recommendation of your physician. So, when she feels that she's had enough stroking ( she's the head honcho remember, ) she'll bite at your hand to let you know - if you disregard her alert signals. Some pros advocate the employment of healthy morsels, as a reward, to extend the time your cat will put up with stroking. At the 1st alert signal offer kitty a treat, continue to stroke your cat rigorously for some time and offer her another reward. It is often related that your cat will learn how to attach petting with the morsels and may, patiently, let you pet her for longer periods.
