Cat biting people
If the cat has just been brought home and is not familiar with the owner, it is still shy and has a strong sense of vigilance. If the owner suddenly approaches it, the cat might bite others to protect itself. If the cat is three months old and still in a period of rapid growth and development, its teeth will itch and hurt due to rapid growth. It will want to grind its teeth and bite people. It is recommended to buy a teething stick for the cat.
Why do kittens love to bite people?
First, cats are in a teething period. Due to the itchiness of growing teeth, cats exhibit behaviors such as biting and chewing on items. It is recommended for owners to buy teething sticks to help their cats grind their teeth. Second, cats have a certain curiosity about moving objects. Therefore, they will bite people due to their prey drive. Owners should promptly stop the cat's behavior and buy toys like catnip sticks to divert the cat's attention.
How long do cats take to grow teeth?
Cats usually grow incisors at around 1-2 weeks, and have a full set of incisors at about four weeks. Canine teeth, also known as fangs, grow at 3-4 weeks, and deciduous teeth grow fully at about a month and a half. The teeth begin to fall out starting at four to five months, and the entire process takes about a month. During this time, cats will feel toothache, so owners should prepare teething toys at home to prevent them from damaging household items.
What to do when a three-month-old cat bites people?
- When the kitten bites, gently strike its mouth to let it know that this is wrong. Never wait for it to bite before disciplining it, as it may not understand why it's being hit and could become resentful or even aggressive.
- After disciplining it, try reaching out to see if it will bite again. If it does, continue the lesson. If it doesn't, consider rewarding it for good behavior.
