A moment of sensitivity with your cat suddenly transform into a bite? You stroke it gently and bam, a tooth in the skin! Don’t scared, this behavior isn’t always combative. Behind that little bite often lies a much more indirect message… What if your cat is simply trying to talk to you?
Play or overstimulation: when tenderness goes wrong
For cats, play is terrible business. When a feline pounces on a string, grabs a feather duster, or nibbles your fingers, they’re often in “hunting” mode . These bites are a crucial part of their play language. But be careful: if they’re overstimulated or the play session drags on, they can quickly change from excitement to annoyance.
Much like an overexcited child who stops crying after a birthday party, your cat may bite to say, “Stop, I’ve had enough!”
Remember : Learn to read the signs of inflammation (tail whipping, ears pinned back, shifty eyes) to avoid getting bitten.
Defense or protection: a natural reflex
A cat that experiences threatened will adopt defensive behavior. This can occur if it is startled by a sudden movement, if it is protecting an object that it observed its territory ( a toy, a corner of the sofa, or even you!), or if it feels its space is being plundered.
Like a horse that kicks when anxious, a cat bites out of survival instinct. This doesn’t mean it doesn’t love you, but simply that it feels sensitive.
Pain or discomfort: a silent alert
If your normally affectionate cat begins biting for no apparent reason, it could be a noticeable sign. Whether it’s joint pain, dental problems , or mild digestive issues , our felines are good at hiding their pain. Biting becomes a way of saying “I’m in pain.”
Incomplete socialization
A kitten that has not been properly entertained between 2 and 8 weeks of age may have difficulty controling its emotions as an adult. It may not know that biting hurts or that it is not correct behavior in feline society .
Tip : Trained play sessions and patience can greatly enhance this behavior.
