Simple tips to stop cat biting. (Image: photoxpress.com)
We all know we're not supposed to bite the hand that feeds us, but sometimes it seems cats simply did not get the memo. A cat that bites is not necessarily showing aggression to you or other pets –he probably just needs a little extra fun time.
Cats bite as a sign that he wants to play, and reacting negatively by yelling at and punishing the cat will only serve to have him draw away from you and become unfriendly. Instead, help stop cat biting by dedicating about 15 minutes several times a day to your cat, playing with toys like feathers on strings or sticks and kitty mittens with dangly ends. These types of toys keep your cat engaged while keeping your hands out of bite-range.
Giving your cat a solid 15 minutes of playtime should make him happy and wear him down, so both of you can relax for a while. Plus, it's fun for both you and him!
If these suggestions do not help to stop cat biting, please check with your vet for other suggestions. Sometimes the actions may be the result of a medical condition, so describe what does and any other possible symptoms.
