There are definitely a whole lot of people all over the world who have an eternal attraction for cats. After all, these are just some of the most delightful four legged creatures you may ever have as an unofficial member of your home. But, there will a few times where you in fact fondle or stroke your cat's fur or neck, and they may end up biting you instead. Why does a pet cat do that? However, with a little help from research, you will get to see that there are numerous factors why this occurs and what you need to do, of which 4 will be discussed below:
- A whole lot of animal pros have come up with a theory that petting is something that cats are not actually accustomed to. This makes them drastically different from the more social dog. Of course, that may be changed simply by educating your pet kittens to interact with individuals at a very early age. Granted you spend enough time being in contact with your kitten, it'll soon learn to depend on you more and show more love to your petting. Naturally, this is just one possible reason.
- Another possibility is that some cats are more receptive than others, and petting them has led you beyond their threshold. Naturally, initial human contact may seem satisfying to them, but overdoing it can cause them to become disturbed. Biting you is their manner of saying that they have had enough petting for the moment. In such cases, best leave them for the time being. Give them their personal space.
- You might not know this, but every now and then when you pet your pet, they become irritated because of the static electricity caused by caressing their fur coats way too much. This could cause hurting to their nervous system. You may also wind up stroking a pretty responsive area on their bodies which may ultimately trigger some sort of aggression in them. Always be cautious when you stroke your cat, as they're pretty delicate creatures.
- There's also the reason that, once your pet cat has woken up from quite a nice nap, your manner of caring and being affectionate may lead them to believe that you're in fact confining them. This would then cause them to bite out of instinct and run before you actually get a hold of them. at times cats would like to be in full control and not have any human being interfere with that. They would wish to be petted at times, and left alone in others. It's significantly necessary that you avoid being all touchy-feely with your cat always, and give them some of their own personal time.
