Most people get cats to have a pleasant time in their company.

It is always important to establish tactile contact with an animal.

However, sometimes our pets can surprise us. For example, some cats can bite their owners when you try to pet them.

What is the reason for this behavior?

The cat is tired of your attention

Pets can also get tired of the attention from their owner. If you touch your cat too often, try to pick it up and pet it, it may just get tired of it.

Therefore, it is worth giving the animal a rest.

Painful sensations

Cats cannot complain to you about their health. Sometimes our touch can cause unpleasant sensations because the cat is in pain in a certain place, experts say.

In this case, it is better to show your pet to the veterinarian.

Socialization

Some cats are simply not accustomed to affection and contact with humans. This situation often occurs when you pick up an adult animal on the street.

Some breeds also value personal space too much and are not very inclined to affection and attention.
