The cat will constantly pounce and bite: these 4 reasons turn an affectionate pet into an enraged predator

Cats are truly capricious animals whose mood can change almost every minute.

Therefore, pet owners are practically not surprised that an animal was just being affectionate and a second later it is furiously clinging to a person’s hand.

We figure out why cats behave this way and whether it is possible to protect yourself from scratches.

Firstly, a cat, especially a neutered one, can simply become overexcited due to the abundance of affection. And this feeling, in turn, prompts him to bite a person.

The second reason is the cat's excess energy. This is especially typical for pets that never leave the house.

The third possible reason for a cat's sudden aggression is intentional ignorance of what is happening to the pet. If you see that the animal does not like your petting, but you continue to do it anyway, then do not be surprised by a sudden bite.

Another reason may be that your pet is simply used to biting in any unclear situation. If you often played with him by hand when he was a kitten, then the habit could have carried over into adulthood.
