Why does this cat keep biting its owner? And what’s up with the pelican sightings at Lexington Reservoir?
Cats bite their owners for a variety of reasons. It may be playful, or it may be a sign of aggression. I adopted a cat from Peninsula Humane Society in Burlingame. He is a 2-year-old flame point Siamese, we think, with blue eyes.
I am not new to cats. I have had at least one cat since the mid-1980s. Am I not a good match with this cat? Do you have any suggestions for me? It has been suggested I spray water at him when he does this.Cats bite for a number of reasons, including being playful, becoming startled, being overstimulated, feeling defensive, lacking socialization or being in pain. My guess is he’s feeling defensive or hasn’t been socialized. Some cats don’t like to be petted, and you can’t force them to accept it.
Don’t yell, swat at him or spray him with water. Those punishments serve only to make him more aggressive. Stay calm and remove yourself from the room when he bites.
