Many owners may be surprised or even offended by the fact that their beloved cat can hit a person in the face.

Especially if we tried to make the relationship as close and warm as possible.

However, not everyone knows that this action does not have a negative connotation.

Why a cat can hit a person in the face with its paw

A thirst for communication and attention

Sometimes it is difficult for us to find enough time to properly enjoy communication with our pet. The cat does not understand that the owner has many worries and responsibilities outside the apartment.

Therefore, a cat, offended by the lack of attention, may simply demand communication.

Hunger

Sometimes we don't always keep an eye on whether our pet's bowl is full, which is a big mistake. Animals feel vulnerable and restless if they don't have food, experts say.

If your cat suddenly hits you with its paw, it makes sense to check the bowl for food.

If the smell weakens over time, the cat will try to renew it. For example, it can hit the owner with its paw.
