If you are bitten by a cat, here’s what it really means

Cats are very territorial animals. Biting is sometimes a way for them to claim ownership of a place, a toy, or an object they consider “theirs.” It’s an instinct inherited from their wild ancestors.

7. Young cats and kittens

Kittens often play roughly and bite their owners’ hands or feet. When young, this seems harmless, but if this behavior is encouraged, it can persist into adulthood, where the bites are stronger and more painful.

That’s why it’s important to focus its energy on toys and not on your body from the very beginning. This way, the cat will grow up with good manners and clear boundaries.
