Rarely does a person with a cat in the house not feel the desire to pet their pet from time to time.
But the cat does not always agree to this sign of attention.
Some animals may even bite their owners.
Why does this happen?
The cat is tired of your attention
Our pets are not as social as we would like to think. They are ready to spend time with people, but on their own "terms".
If the cat thinks that you have already fully enjoyed its company, it may even bite when you try to pet it, experts note.
Something hurts
Cats can also have illnesses and ailments, which should not be written off. Also, the animal may simply have painful sensations in a certain place.
If your pet previously responded favorably to your affection, but now has started to bite, then it’s time to go to the vet for an examination.
Lack of trust
This point is relevant if the animal has appeared in your home recently. This is how cats that have recently been on the street or in a shelter may behave.
Therefore, the pet needs to be given time to adapt.
