There are moments in every cat's life that have absolutely nothing to do. I insist, nothing at all. If they are not frequent, the behavior of our friend will be what we all hope it will be, since that will mean that we have a furry that has fun daily; but when they are happening day after day, or for a long period, in the end we will get our friend bored, and much.
When that happens, that's when it begins to act in a way that could harm us: attacking our hands or legs. This behavior is known by the name of the cat-tiger syndrome, and is caused by boredom. How to avoid it?
Cats are hunting animals by nature. From a young age they take advantage of games to perfect their hunting skills. It is for this reason that, everything that moves becomes a possible target for them, be it toys, ropes ... or our legs and / or hands.
When we decide to live with a feline we have to be very clear that we should spend time with him. This means that we should play with it, as it will be the only way to avoid cat-tiger syndrome. In pet stores you will find a wide variety of games and toys specially designed for your furry to have a great time with the family.
Besides keeping him entertained, another thing we have to do is teach him not to bite. When it is a kitten, the reality is that it does not do much damage when it scratches or bites, but you have to think that it will not take long to reach adulthood, and that if it has learned to bite as a puppy, it is likely to continue to do so throughout its entire life. lifetime. For this reason, we must not let it bite us, ever.
Every time I do, we will stop the game and leave. That way, it won't take long for you to learn that this behavior is wrong. If it is an adult and has started to bite our ankles, we will take it and play with it with a rope for example, or a laser pointer (remember to direct the light to something that it can "hunt", like a stuffed animal). It will be necessary to repeat several times, but in the end by following these tips we can solve the problem.
