Many cats are known to have a nasty habit of "hunting" their owners' feet.

We explain why cats behave this way and how to wean them off it.

Why does a cat throw itself at your feet?

This behavior indicates that the cat lacks your attention.

Since the cat's hunting instinct makes it grab and bite its owner's legs, it is quite difficult to wean the pet off this habit.

Be patient, do not scold or hit the cat after the attack, it may start to behave even more aggressively.

If the cat cannot be calmed down, leave the room, showing that you are offended.

Pay more attention to your pet, play with it more often, and reward it for good behavior.

You also need to set up a play area for your cat where he can let off steam.
