Incomplete socialization
A kitten that has not been properly entertained between 2 and 8 weeks of age may have difficulty controling its emotions as an adult. It may not know that biting hurts or that it is not correct behavior in feline society .
Tip : Trained play sessions and patience can greatly enhance this behavior.
Frustration or boredom: the invisible enemy
A tired cat is a cunning cat. Jumping at your feet, meowing incessantly, or… biting you. Lack of mental and physical stimulation can cause frustration, especially in cats that live exclusively indoors.
Practical idea : Provide him interactive toys, a cat tree, or hide treats around the house to stimulate him every day.
Love bites, yes yes!
Finally, let’s remember the cutest version: the “love bite.” This gentle bite, often on the fingers or arm, without any real pressure, is a signal of affection.
It’s the feline version of the kiss ! A sign that he observes you a member of his tribe.
In summary
Cat bites aren’t always signs with aggression. Between play, pain, boredom, or even love, there are a thousand reasons for this behavior. By closely considering your feline, you’ll learn to understand its messages… and promote your bond.
