Cats

Many cats like to bite things when they are young. If the owners find it interesting, they will tease them with their fingers. They feel that biting fingers is not painful and is fun. Over time, problems will arise. As a cat grows up, it may like to bite its fingers more and more. What should I do if a cat likes to bite its owner’s fingers? How to stop this bad habit?

In fact, there is also a kind of competition in the cat world. Although cats are cute, they are also predators that hunt for a living. Competition has already begun before cats open their eyes when they are born. They instinctively start to fight for the teat with the most milk. The fittest will survive, and nature will keep the strongest ones. Biologically, only healthy kittens can survive.

When a kitten reaches two months old and leaves its mother, it will regard human fingers or toes as its playmates. It is the nature of kittens to be lively, mischievous and curious. They sometimes like to hold people's fingers and chew them, both for playing and for grinding their teeth. The feeling of the kitten's little teeth biting into the hand was quite amusing and not painful, so the cat owner did not discipline the cat. To a certain extent, he allowed the cat to develop the habit of biting.

So how to prevent cats from biting people?

We should develop good habits for cats in contact with humans from an early age, and let them know that some of their behaviors are not liked by their owners.

When the kitten subconsciously hugs your finger and bites it while playing, you can shout loudly or make an angry sound, and at the same time pat it on the head immediately, and then Extend your finger to him again; he will usually bite you again out of retaliation. At this time, you pat him on the head again, and then extend your finger to him... Repeat this four or five times until he does not bite hard. With your hand, just put your fingers in your mouth gently.

Develop good habits for your cat from an early age. Try not to tease him with your hands, especially don’t put your fingers to his mouth and then suddenly take them away. This action will make him take you away. Treating your hands as prey, they instinctively pounce and bite your hands.

Kittens are like a blank sheet of paper, just like human children. They don’t know what is right and what is wrong. Only through the patient education of their owners can they develop good living habits. Live harmoniously and happily with humans.
