my cat bites me, but in a friendly way?

When my cat is particularly pleased and happy she may occasionally "grasp" me in her mouth for a brief time, I wouldn't' call this a bite as she's not pressing down or trying to cause damage. I also occasionally observe my cats doing similar behavior with each other when they are being affectionate and playful.

If the biting is not painful and the cat does not seem to be causing damage or trying to hurt you intentionally this is a playful and excited behavior and nothing to be alarmed about. Think of it as a kitty kiss

However, if these bites are painful or the cat seems to be acting more aggressive than you need to correct this with a soft tap on the nose and a stern "No!" followed by an end to whatever you were doing with the cat. So if it was in your lap than cat goes on the floor.

My cat does that every time she's playful. She follows me around the kitchen giving me little nips when I dont play with her.

My boyfriend growls at her. Weird I know.. But it really works. Even when she's in defense mode, the growling makes her back up and even those painful claws retracts. I can never seem to growl at her, ends up sounding weird so I'm basically the one who gets the love bites.

In the wild, the mother or other cats would nip back. The common suggestion is to blow at the nipping cat, say 'NO'.

that's an illustration of love yet can amplify to rather biting. in case you elect it to give up basically stick your finger gently down the cats throat every time it starts off. not recommended in case you have long fingernails. you ought to in basic terms ought to do this some circumstances in the previous the cat stops biting at you. As for the morning scratching - uncomplicated - turf the cat out of your mattress. Our cats are refused get right of entry to to our drowsing aspects. The canines stands preserve on the backside of the stairs each night and no cat gets previous him. He became into by no potential experienced to do this - he basically does it. they simply curl up with and scratch him rather. and then he nips them on the bum.

They allways do that in the wild, take a peek in Wild.

My cat this do all the time but gently its like some kind of respect I think they are showing.

Because Miau its not working for us isn't it?

So they do this what is simpliest for them.

Her mother would give her feedback, often in the form of a short hiss.

If it were me, I might say NO, and perhaps a real short hiss. I have several that don't bite, but certainly cannot hold their licker!

Im not sure what the mother would so but cats always do that to show there affection for you

Mine does the same.

I'll pet her head and she'll lick me but then she nip me a little.I suppose it's their way to show effection.

it is just how they play. cats have fur and hides so the teeth dont hurt.

mom just bites back. or, pins him to the floor with her paw and gives him a bath. kittens hate getting a bath.

Thank you! Extremely valuable information and this offers me better knowledge on the subject
