The Playtime Bites
Interactive Fun
Interactive play often leads to nibbles and bites. Your cat might get carried away while chasing a toy or your hand. These bites are usually harmless and a part of their playful nature. Engaging in regular play sessions with appropriate toys can help channel their energy and reduce the likelihood of your fingers becoming their favorite plaything.
Redirected Aggression
Sometimes, cats can redirect their aggression from a toy to your hand. If they’re particularly worked up, a playful bite can turn into a more forceful one. It’s important to use toys to avoid becoming the target. This redirection is a natural part of their predatory instincts, and providing plenty of interactive toys can help satisfy their need to hunt.
