Cat Forum / General Topics / November 2006Why does he bite?
Pumpkin usually wants to be petted. Occasionally when he is lying near my feet and I reach down to stroke him he will roll over and grab my hand with teeth and claws. It's not serious but he does draw blood. Why? Did he want a toy instead of a hand? By the way, the last "mouse" was actually a young tree rat. GOOD Pumpkin (says she, hiding her revulsion). The urban jungle loses another to the preditor kitty. Nan >Pumpkin usually wants to be petted.

My Fray D has taught me this lesson well. Just a little at a time. >>Pumpkin usually wants to be petted.

But, when she's lying on her back with her paws up, staring at me, and meowing at me, I know I can pet her. But, even then, when she's had enough she goes into attack mode and I have to move quickly!! Look for signs like becoming rigid, ears going back, a sudden movement and then going back to how she was lying before, eyes widening. Mine can do all of those things within 2 seconds, so you have to be on the look out! my kitty KoKo likes to bite too, but usually not very hard. he doesnt use his claws, but if he bitse too hard, then i go away for a while. >>>Pumpkin usually wants to be petted.
