We are used to the fact that dogs are most often blamed for biting, but cats are considered disciplined and affectionate pets.
However, cute and small animals can bite too.
Some cats do this on a regular basis, while others "show their teeth" rarely.
For what reasons might a cat bite?
She's tired of your petting.
We are used to thinking that stroking a cat gives it great pleasure, so we pay attention to our pet until our hand gets tired.
However, the animal may also get tired of affection. In order to stop your actions, the cat may bite. As a rule, such a bite does not cause painful sensations.
Experts note that at such moments the pet has no desire to hurt you: it is simply sending you a certain signal.
Who's the boss in the house?
Many cats are sure that they are the real owners. The person takes care of them completely, so the animal has grounds for such conclusions.
If a cat wants to “consolidate” its leadership position in a relationship, it may periodically bite a person.
Important signal
In this case, we are talking about moments when cats rush and bite our legs. This means that the pet is drawing attention to some important issue.
The animal may be hungry. Also, do not rule out the fact that the cat is simply bored.
