The Health Check
Sign of Pain
Cats can’t tell us when they’re hurting, so they might bite to communicate discomfort. If a usually gentle cat starts biting, it might be worth a trip to the vet. They could be experiencing pain or illness. This form of communication is crucial for pet owners to recognize, as it can be the only way a cat indicates that something is wrong with their health.
Stress Indicator
Biting can also be a sign of stress. Changes in the household, like new pets or furniture rearrangements, can unsettle your cat. Their bites might be their way of coping with the new stressors. Identifying and alleviating these stressors can help reduce biting incidents and improve your cat’s overall well-being and comfort in their home environment.
