Many cat owners complain about the less than ideal behavior of their pets.

So, sometimes some cats bite and scratch.

As a result, small wounds periodically appear on the hands and feet of the furry owner.

Why does a cat bite and scratch?

Perhaps the reason for such behavior of your four-legged friend is stress or fear.

It is possible that the problem is the pet's aggressiveness.

Or it may be that the cat was simply raised poorly.

Also, do not forget that an animal can bite or scratch a person as part of an overly active game.

It is possible that the cat is “using” its claws and teeth because of severe pain.

The first thing the owner should do is show his four-legged friend to the veterinarian.

Perhaps the reason for the bites is the unbearable pain that the pet constantly experiences.

It turns out that the cat is absolutely healthy? Then pay attention to such an interesting technique as using a rattle.

Cats do not like sharp and loud sounds. A frightened pet will probably stop if the owner uses a "noisy" toy.

Important point: you need to use the rattle at the exact moment when the animal is planning to attack you. Otherwise, the technique will not be effective.
