We've all been there. One minute your feline friend seems happy to soak up all of your attention and affection, and the next minute, their jaw is clamped firmly around your hand! Why does my cat bite me is a common question amongst pet parents, and the answer is that biting can occur for many reasons.
"Biting can happen for different reasons and in different contexts," the team of behaviorists over at Cats Protection explain. "Biting may occur when a cat is stressed or threatened, or when a cat is showing prey or play behavior."
