Why Does My Cat Bite Me - Just Cats

By: Bonnie Begg, Just Cats Store

 

Is it a love bite, or something more serious?

Does this scenario sound familiar? You. Your fur kid. Couch. Netflix. They’re snuggled up on you and you start to give them some pets. Then all of a sudden, BAM! They bite you out of nowhere. “I was just giving Mr. Buttons some love and affection! What the hecks!” Or scenario number two – you’re just working away, minding your own business when out of nowhere Buster decides to bite your head. Third scenario might be during playtime. They’re high on some catnip and a little winded from all that wand play. You reach out to give some lovin’ and it’s like your hand becomes a fat piece of wild salmon.

You’re thinking to yourself, “WHY??” You’re a loving, attentive pet parent and they want for nothing, why are they biting me? Normally when your cat bites you, they are sending you a message.

Some of those messages might be:

  • “I’m just trying to be playful!”
  • “Excuse me, I need some attention!”
  • “That food smells funny.”
  • “Too may pets! Too many pets!! Back off lady!” (overstimulated)
  • “You’re scaring me.” Or “Something is stressing me out.” or “You’re playing too rough with me and I feel mistreated.”
  • “Why are you giving that other cat/dog/baby so much attention?? What about me?” (jealousy)
  • “I’m too hot/cold!” (temperature control)
  • “I’m not feeling well, please help me.”
  • “I was mistreated before I met you and I was triggered.”

Don’t fret! There are ways to solve the biting situation with a little patience and love. If you’ve had your feline friend for a while, you might recognize when their behavior seems a little off. Or, you may be familiar with certain feline traits and characteristics that can help you determine the best solution for you.

Try focusing their playful energy on cat toys, not hands. Wand toys are great, or sometimes a sturdy kicker will do the trick so they can bunny-kick their way to a nice nap. Getting a scratching post or floor scratcher is a helpful way for them to release. You can also remove them from a threatening or stressful situation, and create a calm environment for them. Are they not feeling well? It might be time for a vet visit. Whatever the situation is that’s causing your feline friend to bite, reading their body language can be an invaluable tool and possibly prevent those nips and bites. Follow their lead. Watch those tails and ears. In addition to that, LOVE is always the answer! Love them as they are and for who they are, and be patient with them. Never lash out or spray them with anything for being bad, they are acting on instinct. Cats are after all, tiny little tigers...

  • “In the crypto world, this is great news I want to share. Last year, I fell victim to a scam disguised as a safe investment option. I have invested in crypto trading platforms for about 10yrs thinking I was ensuring myself a retirement income, only to find that all my assets were either frozen, I believed my assets were secure — until I discovered that my BTC funds had been frozen and withdrawals were impossible. It was a devastating moment when I realized I had been scammed, and I thought my Bitcoin was gone forever, Everything changed when a close friend recommended the Capital Crypto Recover Service. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication enabled me to recover my lost Bitcoin funds back — more than €560.000 DEM to my BTC wallet. What once felt impossible became a reality thanks to their support. If you have lost Bitcoin through scams, hacking, failed withdrawals, or similar challenges, don’t lose hope.

  • The offer sounded too good to be true, but I ignored my doubts after seeing the high-yield crypto trading platform and observing the market myself. In hindsight, that should have raised red flags. However, like many crypto investors, I was drawn into investing in digital assets, believing it was a huge opportunity for me. Unfortunately, this led to me becoming just another victim of a sophisticated crypto scam, in which I lost $312,000 in USDT (Tether). It was a devastating financial blow that threatened both my stability and peace of mind. If not for the intervention of a little-known cyber forensics firm, Morphohack Cyber Service, I would have lost everything. They helped me reverse the damage and reclaim control of my crypto assets.

    I highly recommend the services of Morphohack. You can contact them via email (Morphohack@cyberservices . com). This team of blockchain experts and cybersecurity professionals was able to detect the scam, trace where my crypto was sent, and initiate a full recovery process.
    It wasn’t a simple fix, it was a full-blown counteroffensive that lasted 72 hours. Within just three days, Morphohack had located the primary wallets used in the scam and coordinated a comprehensive recovery of my digital assets.
    To anyone who might find themselves in the same situation I was in: don’t panic, and don’t suffer in silence. Seek help and act quickly. You can reach out to Morphohack at the email address above. Crypto recovery is real, if you move fast.

    This team of professional blockchain and cybersecurity experts did an outstanding job helping me recover my crypto assets. I was hacked, and the attackers stole all my Bitcoin and ETH tokens, amounting to a total of $317,000. I believed it was gone for good until a friend, who had previously used Morphohack’s services to recover his own wallet, recommended them to me.
    Within 72 hours of contacting them, the Morphohack team successfully recovered and secured my assets. I had my doubts, but they completely exceeded my expectations. If you’re in need of crypto asset recovery, I strongly suggest reaching out to Morphohack. They truly know what they’re doing.
