Cat fact for the day!

One factor that leads to cats biting people is that they were separated from their mother/siblings too soon.

Cats learn social ques from eachother as kittens, and they learn what hurts and what doesn't based on how their siblings and mother react to their actions.

When you remove them from the litter too soon, they miss out on that learning opportunity and instead have to learn from their owners, who tend to think their pet is doing it out of anger or malice. In reality, it just doesn't know that it hurts.

My cat lived and grew up with his siblings and mother for a long time. We owned them all. He's still a bitey asshole five years later.

Huh, my cat bites with her teeth. To each its own, I suppose.

And sometimes, cats are just assholes.

Very true.

A while back at my mom's work they found a kitten and she ended up bringing it home. I remember reading about this when I was researching up on kitten and cat behavior. Whenever playing if he started to get too rough I'd maybe hiss at him and boop him on the head or just stop playing with him so he'd learn what the limit is.

Now when I play with him he doesn't bite hard or dig his claws in unless he forgets himself which doesn't happen often.

This is the same for dogs. It's recommended to separate them from their mother/litter at least after 8 weeks. Puppies also need to learn bite inhibition and other social cues from each other.

The same thing works with human babies. My mom used to babysit and one of the kinds would run around biting all the other kids. Couldn't get him to stop. One day she bit him after he bit an other kid. That day he learned that getting bitten sucked and he never bit an other kid after that.

"RAAAAHHHRAWWW"

WHAP!

"Ouch, oh, sorry, human, did that hurt you...? Only a little...?"

Mutters "Hmm, research note, biting seems ineffective, human too strong, seek alternative method of assassination."

Apparently, cats will bite out of affection, too.

He did give the arm a little pat afterwards...

Sure but sometimes you have to warn them when they get too excited. It's OK to warn your cat when they're hurting you, even if they mean well.

That's good to know I guess. They also scratch the shit out of you from love, r-right?

[–]FMAlcoholist 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

You gotta remember that a cat just sees you as a bigger slower cat. So they'll try to play with you just like they would another cat.

Also there's a difference between getting scratched while just playing and getting smacked with claws because you pissed them off lol.

Affection and because they want some attention. Had a cat at work that would give me a nip on the leg when he wanted pets or food. Little shit would scare the hell out of me with that late at night.

My uncles cat bites my nose in my sleep when she wants something . She was a feral kitten when she was found, scared shitless, barely a few weeks old, rest of her litter died in the cold, momma gone. Solves all her problems with violence. I hate that cat.

I have one now I raised by hand after her mother died a day after her birth. She's sweet and a massive asshole who likes to knock shit off every horizontal surface in the house. Cats...

My roommate's cat is super duper affectionate, including with teeth. She really likes faces so will rub her face on yours, finishing with a bite on the nose or cheek. I tap her on the head and she gets the picture, until 10 minutes later when she's kissing with her teeth all over again.
