Why do cats always like to scratch? The habit of scratching cats is well known. If you accidentally get scratches on your body, sometimes you will get bloody. The furniture is also a tragic situation at the crime scene. But what we need to know is that biting, scratching and kicking with your hind paws is not only very normal for cats, but also a very important process for learning to be a cat. This is the main reason why the cat tribe has survived for tens of millions of years. It is very common for kittens who are two and a half weeks old to start practicing this technique.
For cats, all forms of play are ways to increase strength and increase survival opportunities, and all games can be classified into two categories: the first: "Hunting and Hunting" game, which can prepare them to feed themselves and survive, and the second "Fight and Win" game, which can prepare them to protect themselves and survive. At about 3 weeks, kittens in the same litter start to play some biting or catching games with their companions or mothers (pay attention to how the female cat uses its tail to attract kittens). When they are 8 to 10 weeks old, all kittens should have learned how to play safely without letting their companions get hurt. These will surely make you understand why healthy, well-educated adult cats enjoy playing this game for life. If the harm during play is not naturally forbidden when young, the entire species' way of survival will be destroyed.
If, when these kittens grow up, the guardian uses his hands or fingers to play roughly with the kitten or adult cat, he is teaching the cat to play roughly with his claws and teeth without any problem - and this is exactly what the mother cats try hard to avoid. In addition, the cat will learn that it is acceptable to use claws and teeth on human skin. Young kittens often make this mistake and they don't cause much harm. But when cats grow up, this kind of play that looks very interesting when they are young can become very dangerous.
Few people know how to resolve this bad habit once cats develop this habit inadvertently. Some people will start hitting cats, and this will only enhance the roughness and cruelty of this game. Some people may even use declaw surgery to solve the problem. In this way, cats usually become prone to bite. In both cases, the situation gradually gets worse than better. The cat loves their guardians and therefore pokes out to touch him and plays in a way that they learn from their guardians during the kitten’s time. As a result, both the cat and the guardian became both sad and lonely. They miss each other's intimacy and the fun they bring, but they don't know how to bring back these past beauty without losing both sides.
Of course, the easiest way is to prevent cats from developing this habit from the beginning. Never use your naked hands to play with cats - whether it is a kitten or an adult cat. Use a toy, ribbon or ball instead of your hands. Simply put, if you don't want your cat to catch anything, don't give such hints. Don't let cats do this from the beginning.
Method to improve cat biting:
First trick: When a cat opens its mouth and bites it, make a sound and scold it
When a cat bites, make a different sound to let the cat recognize it, such as "very painful" or "no". At the same time, you can gently push your forehead to let the cat know that it is wrong. If the cat bites his feet, although it hurts a little, please try not to shake his legs, as this will cause the cat to misunderstand that it is playing games with it.
The second move: Put your fingers into your throat
When the cat bites his hand, immediately put your fingers into your throat. Just put it in a little bit and make the cat feel a little uncomfortable. It will escape immediately. After a few times, it will know that it will cause discomfort due to biting, and then it will no longer bite people.
In addition, use your hands to caress, caress, comb, transport, and occasionally treat cats, but never use them to play. To them, playing means paws and teeth—hunting and hunting. If they are not scratching, jumping and biting, it is not them playing; it is acting cute and snuggling. From the beginning, you have to tell them that hands and skin are used to act coquettishly and snuggle; toys are used to play.
