The cat may bite the human hand because it is in the period of teething, so it wants to relieve the discomfort by biting the owner's hand. Secondly, it may also be because the owner often uses his hands to play with the cat, so the cat treats human hands as toys to bite. In addition, when cats feel hungry, out of conditioned reflex, they will also bite their hands to ask for food from their owners. Finally, when a cat feels uneasy or scared, if the owner approaches it rashly, it may be accidentally injured. Therefore, when a cat bites a person's hand, the owner can first observe the cat's behavior and expression to further understand its emotional state and needs, and then take targeted measures.

Cats will start to change their teeth when they are 3-4 months old. At this time, their mouths may feel pain and discomfort, and they need to bite and chew to relieve it. Therefore, the cat may bite the owner's hand or chew on sofas, stools and other items. In order to help cats relieve their discomfort, owners can provide them with some chewable toys or teething sticks, and gradually correct their hand-biting behavior.

2. Treating human hands as toys

If the owner usually likes to tease the cats with their hands, then over time they will think of the owner’s fingers as prey or toys, leading to hand biting situation occurs. Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, it is recommended that owners use special cat toys, such as cat teasing sticks, small balls, etc., to interact with cats. At the same time, owners should also take timely measures to correct their wrong behaviors, such as biting hands, biting feet, biting sofas, etc.

3. What you want to eat

Because the owner usually places food for the cat with his hands, the cat may form a conditioned reflex over time, thinking that the owner's hands are the source of food. Therefore, when a cat feels hungry, it will bite its hand to indicate to its owner that it needs food. In this regard, the owner can put some food and clean water for the cat to see if it has such needs.

4. Feeling uneasy or scared

When a cat feels uneasy or scared, it may bite or grab its hands to protect itself or seek comfort.
