Why does my cat attack me
What do I do when my cat attacks me?
If your cat does attack you, ignore it and leave the room, which will teach your cat that attacking equals no more attention. Don’t punish or yell at your cat since cats don’t understand punishment. Instead, reward your cat whenever you’re playing or petting it and it doesn’t attack you.
Why does my cat attack me out of nowhere when I pet him?
So why do cats do this? It’s a controversial topic in the feline behavior world, but many believe it’s simply due to overstimulation. Repetitive petting can cause your cat to become overly excited, and trigger an arousal-based bite. Commonly, I see static electricity as a reason for cats to bite during petting.
Why is my cat suddenly aggressive?
If your cat shows sudden aggression, animal scientists say that you should bring your cat to your veterinarian immediately. This sudden change in behavior may be a sign of an underlying health condition. Veterinarians say that your cat’s aggression may be due to pain from conditions such as arthritis or infection.
