      ​@@RoccoLove-l9q My girl is 9 years old now, got her as a baby and at first I didn't understand why she did it except for playing but then I heard of love bite and now whenever she feels like it I give her my hand to bite. I've seen people recommending to not let them know it's okay, personally I don't mind gentle bites (she never gave me "nasty bites" even when I scold her). I just tell her whenever she bites slightly too much and she let it go.
      However I heard at an old age whenever their view becomes too bad and their mood worsen then they can bite harder but well, we'll see.

      Love bites and scratches will seem more like a hug on your hand rather then play or aggression honestly shouldn't hurt
      Play aggression does hurt and will likely will cause bleeding and shouldn't be re enforced

      My neighbor's cats have adopted me, and they nvr used to purr or nip(love bite). Now they bite, but if it's too rough I say "Hey!" And they flinch back & stare. I say gentle, and they do so, or lick. Few days ago I event finished taking a feral kitten one of her cats caught.
      Only put out water for them, no food/treats. Rest is pats, laps, & chats. They been starved for attention. Go home, eat, & come back.

    One of my boys realized humans are different so he'd never love bite or pat me with his paw, he'd poke me with his wet nose until he got cuddles. Sitting beside me. When he was at my feet, not as guard kitty, he was great at hitting the purfect debilitating meow to get me to stop everything. lol. Very talented. If anyone's adopting, I highly recommend Bombays. My Tuxedo and Tabby were outgoing love machines also.

    I'm pretty sure my cat sees me more as a possession than a parent, she is big on the high tail greeting and head bunting though. Quite often she will demand pets or press her head against my chest just before she goes outside, I suppose she's marking me so no other cats will move in while she's out.

    They seem to see me as a mobile territory as they will follow me way outside their usual hunting grounds (we got a tracker to see where our most adventurous cat was going) if I leave the house while they are around. I often have to walk them back home so they don't follow me too far. They will accompany us 15 minutes walk to the bus stop if we don't.

      @PurpleRhymesWithOrange Месяц назад +1

      @@briannenurse4640 She is an old girl. Not certain exactly how old she was when my companion found her at the shelter but she seemed very set in here ways then. She has been with us 8 years now so I suspect she is a teenager by now. I do play her out every evening after dinner. She is very smart and loves her puzzle box. You can watch her assess it from different sides and see she is planning out 2-3 moves ahead for how to get the most treats out. I don't mind the scratches and punctures because I know she doesn't mean anything by it. When we play and she bites she immediately realizes what she did and starts licking it to apologize.

    Having seen many tragic videos of animals being neglected and abandoned, i can't get my head round anyone who dislikes animals.❤
    We can get so much love from animals if we give them love back.
    Lovely to see a happy animal story and an educational one.❤

    If you don't want your cat to scratch or bite you when playing, then do not train them that your hand/arm is a toy. So you have to start young. Do not let kittens scratch you when playing. If they target your hand, then you immediately suspend playtime so they do not associate your hand as a toy.

    I understand 'love bites'. But, cats sometimes don't understand that elderly people have very thin skin and that a bite that would be harmless to a younger person CAN draw blood from their elderly cat parents. In these cases, it has to be discouraged.

    I brought home two brothers from the shelter. Very shortly I had to take one of them to the emergency vet because he had an abscess which was no doubt caused by playing with his brother. and being hooked by accident. Nothing hostile. It's just that they have hooks. I do clip their hooks regularly so they won't hurt each other or their humans or furniture or whatever.

    sign 1 It usually means that the cat is annoyed and wants to be not petted or even touched anymore for a while. Those "play fights" are not only about fun. They create a "pecking order", meaning who is stronger and who is weaker. It is crucial to teach the cat that it is weaker than a human being. The earlier the lesson the less violence must be used later to show the cat that it is not the boss.

    We have a Turkish Angora 3years old and 18 lbs which is only slightly above average for her breed. I know that her breed has some particular traits: must be the alpha cat in their home; is an excellent hunter; tends to bond with only one person; and becomes depressed if her social interactions with her human decrease or stop for any reason. Ours also has some traits we would like to discourage. She is an indoor cat with a kitty door providing access to the backyard during the day. Every morning, her first to-do item is eating grass. Sometimes she vomits hairballs after this, but not often. She loves to watch the neighbors' chickens and brings various food she hunted, into the house to feed us. I guess we aren't good hunters in her eyes. We've found: butterflies; birds; lizards; frogs; grasshoppers; large beetles; and even small snakes. We try to discourage this by putting her catch out the other side of the house so she can't catch it again and praising other behavior. We have 3 other cats in the house. We are at our wits end because none of the other cats can have their own toy, food, sleeping place, or favorite human. That's hard because the other 3 want favorites, too. Any suggestions? The other cats are: a male 1/2 manx weighing 22 lbs; a longhair female tuxedo that is 21 this year and fairly frail; and a Siberian lynx point, actually our Angora's biological mother. The most fighting is between the manx and the lynx point.

    but then I've always had sharp hearing. it's also why I hate flying on planes.

    So, if I get a kitten,then, it will grow, being used to my verrry iRRreGuLar schedule? You said they will mimic my behavior, eat what I eat, etc,
    I am a believer that cats can be trained, and for anyone's information, I only like the idea of having the kinds of cats that are dog-like, and floor-dwelling. I like dogs that are chill, and have been investigating various breeds of cats to see which ones would get along in a mellow way cuz I'm kind of a mellow person - besides which, NEED the peace and quiet. I've been investigating the quiet mellow kinds of cats who can live up to these expectations.
    I've settled on a Maine Coon or the British Shorthair. I am thinking that the Maine Coon would have the size, and the sauce, if need be, to handle the types of dogs that I like, and usually have.
    Please, someone let me know, am I just dreaming? Can this be a reality?

I've heard that it's to soften a surface for them to lay on? Car never did it any other time. Even when I went to bed at midnight! Worse part was? I always feel asleep reading my novel & would wake up with my face in my book! Lol. Also, cat wouldn't sleep on my back. I verify believe it was a Conspiracy to put me to sleep so she could go do naughty things 😭

Sadly he is gone now. R.I.P. TomTree.
