Cats will always scratch people inadvertently. As an owner, they always find it difficult to train. In fact, this is the innate wildness of cats, which is difficult to eliminate. We can only try our best. Protect yourself and give your cat a sense of security.

Cats always look so docile and calm on the outside. In people's eyes, cats seem to be animals that don't lose their temper. However, this is a misunderstanding. When cats lose their temper, they are very scary and severe. They will show their sharp teeth, their eyes will become sharp and piercing, and they will make angry sounds that will make you shudder. But when cats are seriously threatened or injured, they will suddenly scratch people to protect their own safety.

When cats are young, they often bite suddenly while playing with their owners. This behavior is recognized by pet experts as "play-type aggressive behavior" and is a pet behavior. Cats need it during growth and development. We know that cats naturally hunt small animals, and kittens must practice their life skills through games. If the kittens at home have no playmates of the same kind and lack necessary game toys, they will turn their game objects to their owners. When the owner teases the kitten with his hands, the cat will regard the owner's hand as an imaginary enemy. During the play, the cat will inevitably bite suddenly.

However, although cats have been pampered at home and get along with humans, and have received good training. But the natural wildness of cats is difficult to eliminate. When you approach them in a friendly and kind manner and play with them, they will be willing to approach you and play with you. But as long as it feels threatened, nervous, and frightened, the cat will choose to run away, and more often than not, it will launch sudden attacks and scratch people to protect its own safety. Especially adult cats, this sense of vigilance will be stronger. Therefore, when getting along with adult cats, you also need to pay attention to mastering appropriate and special methods to prevent cats from scratching people.
