Biting cats are rare, but their bites are very painful for owners.

No one will be pleased when a pet starts to "show teeth" in response to love, affection and care.

However, it is worth understanding that a pet will definitely not be aggressive without a reason.

Why did the cat start biting?

Illness or pain

Experts remind that when cats are sick, they behave quietly, hide, sleep a lot, and may refuse food and water. If you decide to disturb your pet at such moments, it may bite you.

So always evaluate the factors as a whole.
