Rarely can a person resist the urge to pet their pet, as for us this gesture is a demonstration of love, affection and care.
Sometimes cats can react favorably to this.
However, sometimes an animal can bite a person for no reason.
Why do cats bite when petted?
A peculiar expression of love
Sometimes cats can demonstrate warm feelings by biting. However, it is worth understanding that in this case the animal only bites lightly, without causing any painful sensations.
For some cats, light bites are a sign of warm feelings.
The animal is uncomfortable with your movements.
We can be sure that our actions do not cause discomfort to the cat, but the pet has a different opinion on this matter.
If the cat becomes uncomfortable with your petting, it can easily bite the owner.
Character traits
Experts remind that it is impossible to find two absolutely identical cats, since each animal has its own character and habits.
Some people don't like it when a person invades their personal space, which is "communicated" to the owner by biting.
Peculiarities of education
A cat's behavior is largely based on early experience. If a kitten was treated roughly or completely ignored, then an adult animal may react negatively to displays of affection from its owner.
Therefore, it is worth gradually changing the cat's attitude towards your behavior, giving it time to adapt.
