Why do cats like to bite their keeper's hands and feet?

Many cat keepers have been bitten by their hands and feet. Why do cats often do this? In fact, in the cat's mind, biting the keeper's hands and feet represents these kinds of meanings.

Cat's hunting instinct

Cats have a desire to chase moving objects, especially in front of their keepers, which can arouse the cat's desire to hunt.

So the cat bites the keeper's hands and feet, it is actually its hunting instinct, and it treats you as its prey.

Cat wants to play with you

If you ignore the cat for a long time, the cat will feel lonely and bored and will bite the keeper's hands and feet. In fact, the cat just wants to attract your attention and hopes you can play with it.

The pet keeper usually spends more time with the cat and interacts with it. Otherwise, the cat is prone to psychological problems such as anxiety.

Cat loves you

Mother cats often bite kittens to express their love, so many cats like to bite their keepers' hands and feet to express their emotions and love. This is learned from their mothers. In the cat's heart, biting the keeper's hands and feet is actually telling you "it loves you".

Cat doesn't want to be petted

Cat is an impatient animal. If you pet the cat for a long time, when it loses patience and does not want to be petted, it will bite your hand in protest.

When petting the cat, the pet keeper must always pay attention to the cat's emotions. Once your cat has an impatient expression, you should stop petting immediately.

Cat's teeth are itchy

The cat likes to bite his keeper’s hands and feet, maybe his teeth are itchy. If the cat is teething or changing teeth, it will bite everything, except for the hands and feet of the keeper, but also the feet of stools, tables, sofas, and so on. If you don't want your hands and feet to be the "tools" for your cat to grind teeth, you can prepare some teething toys or snacks for it.

Cat thinks you like this

If the cat bites your hands and feet and didn't get any response, then it will think you like it very much, and then it will bite your hands and feet more often.

Cat wants to eat food

The cat cannot speak, and when it has a need, it will communicate with its keeper through body language. In the cat's heart, biting the keeper's hands and feet means begging for food.

If your cat bites your hands and feet, and looks at the food on your hands, or keeps looking in the direction of the cat bowl, then it wants to eat.

When the cat wants to eat, don't keep feeding, otherwise, it will cause the cat to eat too much and become sick. Choosing a scheduled automatic feeder is very important to the cat keepers.
