Why a cat might bite when you pet it: the most common reasons
If you are the happy owner of a purring ball of fur, you have probably noticed more than once from your own experience that when you try to pet your cat, it can use its sharp teeth.
Let's figure out why this happens.
First of all, it is worth considering such a reason as painful sensations in the case of a particular disease.
In addition, aggression is one of the symptoms of some diseases. If you notice any signs of illness, you should immediately show the animal to the vet.
A cat may bite when you pet it because it is scared. This is how its instincts manifest themselves.
If the pet bites the owner carefully, trying not to cause pain, this is the way she shows her affection and love.
Finally, the fourth possible reason is poor socialization of your pet.
Remember that a kitten can be taken away from its mother and siblings when it is at least 12 weeks old, because its relatives begin to teach it the basics of social behavior only from the age of one month.
