Why do cats always like to scratch? The habit of scratching cats is well known, and there will be scratches on the body accidentally, and sometimes blood will drip on the furniture. It's a crime scene, but what we need to know is that biting, scratching, and kicking with hind paws are not only very normal for cats, but are also a very important process in learning to be a cat. This is the main reason why the cat family has survived for thousands of years. It is very common for kittens at two and a half or three weeks of age to start practicing this technique.
For Cat, all forms of play increase strength and chances of survival In this way, all games can be classified into two categories: first: hunt and hunt games, which prepare them to feed themselves and survive, and second fight and win games, which Games can prepare them to protect themselves and survive. At about 3 weeks of age, kittens in the same litter begin to play some game of biting or scratching with their companions or mother (note how the mother cat uses her tail to attract the kittens). By the time they are 8 to 10 weeks old, all kittens should have learned how to play safely without hurting their companions. These are sure to make you understand why healthy, well-bred adult cats enjoy playing this game throughout their lives. If playtime injury is not naturally prohibited at a young age, the survival of an entire species can be disrupted.
If, when these kittens are older, the guardian uses his hands or fingers to rough up with the kitten or adult cat To play, he's teaching cats that there's nothing wrong with playing roughly with their claws and teeth -- something the mother cat tries so hard to avoid. In addition, the cat will learn that claws and teeth are acceptable for human skin. Young kittens often make this mistake and they don't cause much damage. But as cats get older, this play, which was fun at a young age, can become very dangerous.
Few people know how to get rid of this bad habit once cats inadvertently develop it. Some people will start hitting cats, and that only adds to the rudeness and cruelty of this game. Some people may even use declawing surgery, the destructive method of cat and cat, to solve the problem. In this case, cats often become prone to biting. In both cases, things get progressively worse rather than better. Cats love their guardian and reach out to him and play in the way they learned from their guardian as a kitten. As a result, both the cat and the guardian became sad and lonely. They miss each other's intimacy and the fun they have with each other, but don't know how to bring back the good things they once were without losing both sides.
The easiest way, of course, is to keep the cat out of this habit in the first place. Never use your bare hands to play with cats - kittens or adults. Use toys, ribbons or balls instead of your hands. Simply put, if you don't want the cat to scratch, don't give this hint. Don't let the cat do it in the first place.
How to improve cat bites:
First Trick: When the cat opens its mouth and bites down, make a sound to reprimand
When the cat bites, make a different sound so that the cat can recognize it, For example, it hurts and no, and at the same time, you can gently push the forehead to let the cat know that it is wrong. If the cat bites the foot, although it hurts a bit, please try not to shake the leg. Let the cat misunderstand that it is playing games with it.
Second move: put your finger in the throat
When the cat bites his hand, he immediately puts his finger into his throat. As long as it goes in a little bit, it makes the cat feel slightly uncomfortable, and it will immediately run away. Stop biting.
Also, use your hands for petting, petting, grooming, carrying, and occasionally treating cats, but never play. For them, play means claws and teeth - hunting and hunting. If they're not scratching, jumping, and biting, they're not playing; they're coddling and snuggling. Tell them right from the start that hands and skin are for coquetry and snuggling; toys are for play.
