In fact, the biting behavior of cats can be said to be a natural instinct, a game behavior, and also a coquettish behavior, expressing love to their owners. Why do cats like to bite peoples fingers but dont really bite? Why is it said that cats like to bite peoples fingers is a natural instinct, because this behavior has existed since the birth of cats, just like tigers. After birth, they will have an instinctive behavior of hunting and killing prey. And when a kitten is young, it will also follow this instinct and attack each other with a litter of siblings or its mother to train its reaction speed. So its common to see kittens born in the same litter biting back and forth, or sometimes biting their mothers. In fact, this is also a playful and playful behavior that enhances relationships.
However, many people now choose some young kittens that have just been weaned when raising cats, so the kittens have left their mothers and brothers and sisters since childhood. Because their instinctive behaviors can only be done with their owners, they like to bite people, especially their fingers. At the beginning, because the kitten didnt understand, it couldnt control the strength and couldnt bite its owner properly. If after a long period of walking with the owner, every time the owner bites and hurts, the owner should show it, such as shouting loudly, to let the cat know that it will hurt. After a few times, the cat will gradually master the strength and know how to control it, after all, cats are still very smart. But letting your cat know about your pain cannot be achieved by hitting or scolding it. This approach is not advisable, and in the long run, it may even trigger the cats counterattack mentality. In addition, biting the owner by a cat is also a spoiled behavior, expressing love to the owner. Dont be fooled by the usually cold and aloof appearance of cats, but they also need the care of their owners. Therefore, they will attract their attention by lightly biting their hands, which also represents that they are intimate with their owners. Usually, cats bite lightly. Although cats have sharp teeth and wont bite people, their owners may quickly pull their hands back out of fear or fright, which can actually scratch the cats sharp teeth and cause injuries to their hands. We cant blame cats for this. So the owner should first adjust their mentality and not be scared and hurt by the cat biting them. In fact, cats do not have malicious intentions, but rather express their love. Sometimes cats bite people because their hands are treated as toys. Generally, cats also bite toys when playing with them. For toys that move, they can particularly attract their attention. Therefore, if you dont want your cat to treat your hands as toys, just dont move them. Cats will quickly shift their attention. The editor thinks that sometimes cats lightly bite their owners because of their instinctive habit, and more guidance can prevent them from biting. And sometimes a cats light bite is also a kind of coquettish behavior. Dont be afraid, dont scare yourself, as this can easily hurt yourself. And sometimes the owners hand is also treated as a toy by the cat, as long as it doesnt cooperate with the cat, it will give up.
