Every happy cat owner has encountered a situation in which their furry pet suddenly began to attack, using its fangs.

When something like this happens while playing with a cat, there are no questions – the pet is simply showing its predatory nature.

However, it is not uncommon for a cat to start biting without any apparent reason.

Loud sounds, sudden movements, or changes in environment can cause fear in your pet.

Excess of feelings

When a cat is overwhelmed with emotions, including positive ones, it may not only start biting you, but also use its claws.

The main thing at such moments is not to yell at the fluffy one, but to calmly endure his peculiar caresses.

Trying to get attention

Have you been giving your four-legged, whiskered and striped friend too little attention? Then you will receive a bite as a reward.

If a cat is bored or just wants to play, it will let you know with its sharp teeth.

Also, the reasons for increased biting of a cat may be health problems. For this reason, it is very important to regularly show your pet to the vet.
