Why does cat bite feet? Cats may bite their feet for entertainment, or they want to get their owner’s attention. Additionally, cats may use their feet to caress their owners, or they may want to play with their owners.
1. Bite your own feet
1. Clean your claws
Because cats are very clean animals, when they feel that there are foreign objects in the gap between their toes, they will bite their claws to clean the debris and foreign objects in the gaps. This situation is normal. As long as there are no other abnormalities in the cat's paws, such as bleeding, swelling, etc., the owner does not have to worry too much.
2. Suffering from skin diseases
If the cat has abnormal conditions such as itching on its paws, it will keep licking and gnawing on its paws, and want to relieve itching and discomfort in this way. Therefore, the owner can carefully check the skin of the cat's claws to see if there are obvious abnormalities such as redness, swelling, and rashes. If there is any abnormality, you need to go to the pet hospital for a dermatosis examination in time to see what is the cause, and then use symptomatic medication to treat it.
2. Bite the owner's feet
1. Behave coquettishly
Cats are animals with a strong curiosity. They will recognize various things around them by smelling, scratching, and licking. So when a cat is interested in you and wants to gain your attention, it may cause chewing feet and other behaviors. At this time, you can try to interact with cats, such as playing games with cats, teasing cats toys, etc., to satisfy their curiosity and needs, and to give appropriate attention and company to the cats.
2. Teeth change
Cats will also like to chew during teething and teeth changing, and the frequency of chewing feet may increase. This is because during teething and changing teeth, cats will feel uncomfortable and painful in their mouths, and chewing on things can alleviate their need for teeth grinding. At this time, the owner can provide them with some safe teething food and toys, such as teething sticks, bones, etc., which can help relieve their discomfort and meet the needs of the teeth growth process.
