Why do they bite?

Kittens, although it may not seem like it now that they are young, they are hunting animals, that is, they feed on the meat of their prey. To catch them they need their teeth and a lot of practice. And that's what they have been doing since they are two months old: practicing. You never know when they might need to hunt something, be it a ball or a stuffed animal.

But no, hunting is not the only reason, but They also do it because they feel pain or discomfort as their permanent teeth come in. which begins to occur around three months of age.

What to do so that they don't bite us?

The first advice I'm going to give you is the following: never use your hands or feet to play with kittens, never. They may not hurt now, but if they get used to biting you they will continue to do so as adults, and then they will cause you pain. In addition, it is also necessary avoid making sudden movements because with them the only thing that is achieved is that the animals have more desire to bite you.

For these reasons, it is very important to always have a toy between your hand and the animals. In pet stores you will find countless toys for cats: feathers, reeds, stuffed animals, balls ... But if you have aluminum foil at home, for example, you can make a ball out of a piece and play with your kittens.

We hope these tips are useful so that your kittens do not bite you.
