The cat has a stubborn temper, which is reflected in many aspects. For example, when it bites you, the more you hit it, the more it bites it will bite. Then why does the cat bite the more it hits someone and bite him? What's wrong with the more violent a cat bites someone and hits him? Next, let’s see why the cat bites a person the more he hits him.

1. Think that the owner is playing with it

If the cat bites a person and runs away, or grabs a person's hand and bites and kicks, it may be that the cat thinks the owner is playing with it, especially when the cat is playing crazy. Many of the habits of cats were developed when they were young, because they left the cat mother too early and had not experienced social training. This requires the owner to slowly help the cat correct this behavior and use toys to consume too much energy.

2. Treat the owner as its prey

The cat is a predator, and chasing prey is its nature. The resistance of the prey can make the cat more excited, so the cat will stimulate the instinct after biting people. If you hit it again at this time, it will anger the cat and bite it even more. Therefore, when a cat bites a person, it is not recommended that the owner beat and scold the cat, as this will alienate the cat from the owner. At this time, the owner should not move around, and the cat will let go. After letting go, it should give a reward, so that it will react with rewards if it does not bite.

3. In the teeth grinding period, cats generally have teeth grinding periods around 7-8 months. Because their teeth are particularly itchy and uncomfortable, cats will relieve teeth discomfort by biting people, and at the same time they will suddenly become very fond of biting, chewing items, etc. It is recommended that the owner pay attention to observation. If the cat shows signs of grinding his teeth, he can prepare a grinding stick or grinding toy for the cat to relieve the discomfort of the cat's teeth.
