Yes, cats sometimes bite. Cats can bite for a variety of reasons, including when they feel threatened, scared, angry, or overplayed. Some cats may bite to express their displeasure or to seek attention. In addition, biting by young cats is also an exploratory and learning behavior.
To avoid being bitten by a cat, you can take the following precautions:
1. Respect your cat’s personal space and don’t approach them or make any moves that make them uncomfortable.
2. Do not tease cats with your fingers or other body parts, especially when they are playing or excited.
3. Provide enough toys and activities so the cat can expend energy and chase games.
4. If your cat bites you, do not respond with violence. Instead, try to remain calm and slowly withdraw your fingers from its mouth.
If you notice that your cat bites frequently or becomes too severe, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian or a professional cat behavior consultant who can provide more specific advice and guidance.
