    I keep watching videos about how to stop biting and scratching and I swear I only get the same answer. But the thing is, I never play with him with my hands, I've never liked playing with animals like that, so now I have an overly aggressive kitty, the same answer of all vets saying he's perfectly fine and a sea of toys

    My cat bites me while purring. She'll be sitting my belly and just attacks me. She bites me till I bleed every time. There is reason for her to this and while sitting me purring. I really hate the fact she'll have to leave my house but people shouldn't be forced to deal with bad animals.

      Cats sometimes bite because of over-stimulation from petting, petting releases energy in cats that needs to get out, observe your cats tail, it if starts to wiggle, your cat is starting to get annoyed or over-stimulated. Sometimes they also bite out of pure boredom.

      Blair Button Bad Animals? There is NO SUCH THING. Obviously, you do not understand Cats, and the Cat is much better off without you.
      Within reason. Tossing the Feline outside and letting him/her fend for themselves is NOT THE RIGHT SOLUTION.
      A shelter can (hopefully) find the poor Puss a better home.

    How to make a difference between petting a cat and playing with a cat using the hands? I mean that while I am petting a cat the cat won't think it should scratch or bite my hand, otherwise I would use a toy that the cat can scratch and bite freely without hurting me.

    My cat only gets aggressive about 20 minutes after wet food. I can watch his eyes changing from friendly and relaxed to glazed over and hostile,to dilated pupils and pouncing posture and wild scratching of furniture,me and even his tail! Hes 6,a rescue cat and castrated. I dont have any other pets. He gulps his food down,uses his tray properly and seems to get overstimulated by play. I am at home all day so he isnt left bored.

  • @Hamid_khan909
    @Hamid_khan909 2 роки тому

    My cat is not essentially aggressive but he kinda needs his ‘me time’ in the morning and evening and he is pretty serious about it. Otherwise he is a pretty discipline cat and we actually took him from a couple who had like seven cats and one of them gave birth to 2 kittens so we took one of them . I think the reason why he is friendly is because he was raised by kinda human beings and had the company of his mom unlike cats in the pet stores who are snatched away from their family . We take our cat to their house every once a month so it can meet its family and stay in touch.

    I have three cats, 2 of which I found when they were 3 weeks old and the other was 6 weeks. All abandoned and homeless so I was happy to take them home. They required feeding every 4 hours but it was worth it and watching them grow was such a joy. Most people told me that bottle fed babies become aggressive and scratchy but I never experienced this probably because they had each other and also because I very rarely used my hands when I played with them. All three are very docile and affectionate and love to be cuddled and pampered. The mess they make is irritating but that's because they are flat cats…Anyway this video is correct I know it's hard but try to avoid using hands when playing with kittens as it only encourages their hunting instinct [which isn't a bad thing] but can become troublesome when they are older. As the video suggests use toys attached to stretchy string or otherwise……….Just not your hands LOL!!!

  • @DearPajamaParty
    @DearPajamaParty 8 років тому +2

    We recently adopted a stray cat. He had a collar but no one has claimed him. One day he came to our home with an injured paw so i built him a makeshift home and fed him tl he gog better. Since he was very social and loved my dogs i figured we could keep him. Lately he's been opening up more and been a lot more playful but since I never owned a cat I cant read his body language as well as i do with my dogs. He's started peeing in iur living room which I be placing a litter box in that room hoping it will solve the problem. He now chaces my dogs when they play fight and he did it once to me when walking away. I want to assume he's bwing playful but i dont know. The biting is rhe biggest issue now. Sometimes he can bite pretty hard.

    • @dbm-yv1gl
      @dbm-yv1gl 8 років тому +1

      If he pees in the couch, prob what he tries is that he wants to mingle his scent with yours, or that the cat is insecure.
      Dont use your hand to play with your cat in case you get bitten. If u want to pet, put your finger or whole hand near his nose, and let him guide where he wants to be petted. Pet a little or moderate amounts, depending on the cat, but dont pet too much or too fast in case he doesnt like it. And dont anywhere else in case he bites you. If he might bite for you putting ur hand near to nose, then stop. As said in video, use toys to play with him more so you will less likely get bitten

    • @caroltrumpeter713
      @caroltrumpeter713 8 років тому +1

      i have used hormone collars and that stopped that peeing thing. you can order them on the internet like from companies like pet mountain and others

    • @DaShonuff
      @DaShonuff 7 років тому +2

      I know this is old but for the peeing. It maybe due to stress. Pee/Spraying is used to mark territory where he might not feel comfortable so they spray. Try buying Felaway spray or plug in. its a bit pricey but it helps calm cats, its safe for both pets and humans.
      If he attacks you (play) while you walk, you should always have toys in your pocket. You can buy a bunch of dollar stuff cat toys and jingle balls at walmart or something. When you walk by and he comes at you, just stop and tossa toy to him. This is how you redirect his predatory play times.
      rule of thumb on biting. Don't tolerate it. If he bits, stop, yell and slowly press hard into him for him to stop. Then walk away and ignore him. This will let him know that its unwanted behavior. Afterwards come back with a toy and let him play with it then reward him with petting and treats. This will teach him that biting and wrestling with toys is acceptable.

      thats ok to put a litterbox- then there a 'piss off sprays in petstores ... spray on yourself. w/ Feliway . then tell kittie as i've done : dont bite me,,then i showed the blood and said 'ay aye aye' and then i'lll go away some minutes ..back petting her carefully and stop . sitting saying nice talk then is it important not to play biting with your hands -switch imetley to a toy !! until she stops after couple of c:a 5 times She is since the most alert and loving tolerant kitteh ever !!! !

    We recently got a kitten. She has been very aggressive. I think it's because her other owner didn't take good care of her. They always gave the kitten to the neighborhood brats and they messed around with her to much. I also think it's because she didn't have much time with her mother to learn. So we're trying to teach her.

      Dont think it is you who pet him, but him to guide you where he wants to be petted. What you do is you put your finger near his nose, let him smell your finger and he will show you where to pet him, either his cheek, his chin, his head etc. And dont pet too much or too fast.

      Prob he doesnt like to be carried without his permission. How about you put ur finger near his nose and let him guide where he wants to be petted. I think with this, and that you create a bond with him for a long period of time, he might trust you, and you tap a high place so he can jump up. do that again and again till you can carry him without biting
      This is my opinion. I am no expert but prob you can try..?
