なぜ猫は噛むのか？

This is your cat, you were playing with it, and it suddenly bit you.

What has happened here?

The answer is no hold back. Yes, just can’t hold back, can’t hold back. Hunting instinct, cats are natural hunters, and they still retain hunting instincts. This instinct makes them more sensitive in daily life, especially in physical contact.

When you accidentally touch some of its weak spots while petting a cat, it will trigger its instinctive reaction, that is, it will fight back immediately when it is threatened, but when it strikes back and suddenly finds that it is you, it will stop immediately. So, it will often cause it to bite you suddenly, but then stop suddenly.

In addition to the above reasons, there is another reason, that is, the cat actively bites you. This cat hunting instinct, which is more common in kittens, not only enables them to hunt, but also urges them to practice hunting skills.

When the kitten was young, the mother cat would take him to play and practice hunting skills. When the cat leaves its mother cat and follows you, the kitten will try to play hunting games with you, and biting is one of the manifestations.

If you want to correct this behavior, it is actually very simple. After it bites you, you can cut up a citrus fruit that cats hate the most, rub it on your hands, and then let it bite you. Stretch it into the mouth, after repeating this several times, the kitten will most likely not dare to bite you!
