Cat is biting
I have a 3 year old healthy tortie who has a biting problem. I don’t feel it’s malicious in intent, she’s not a mean cat. It feels more like an attention thing but I’m not sure. Also, she’s always done this but it’s gotten excessive the older she’s gotten. As a kitten she didn’t do it often at all. Half the time it’s soft bites but she can also bite really hard too.
Some examples:
She will want to be on my lap, and if I’m not petting her she will bite. But she also bites if I am petting her. And I don’t let her aggressively, I’m always gentle with her. When I’m sitting on my bed watching tv at night she wants to be on my lap but if I don’t want her on me right then (say if I’m eating a snack) she will circle around me and bite the back of my arms. If I movie quickly because I know a bite is coming she will chase me and Vite harder. I don’t know what to do to make her stop. She doesn’t seem to have a motive (happens when I’m not letting her and when I am). And it’s getting to the point where I don’t want her to lay on me. Does anyone have any insight? Suggestions are greatly appreciated. Photo attached for the Cat Tax.
