Thread: Squeak Bites...Advice Please!

Hybrid View

  1. #1
    My Puddy was like that since I first got her at 5 weeks old and if I dare to pet her whenever I feel like it and not when she comes to me, I'll get bitten. But she used to bite for whatever reason and whenever. A gentle tap on her nose w/the words "Be nice" or "No biting" in a soft yet firm voice always got her to stop. I didn't try to explain it; I just dealt w/it which is probably wrong but I figured cats are different just as people are. She doesn't do it much any more but every once in a while......
    Blessings,

    Anyway, to finally get to my point, maybe Squeak gets over stimulated from the wiping motion. Does she only do it when you are moving your hand/arm? Does she do it when you pet her too much?

    She does it when I'm wiping and just for NO reason. You know how she was when I was on the phone with you. She's like that most all the time.

    Medusa- I usually take my finger and place it on her nose firmly and tell her, "We DON'T bite", or "We DON'T act like that". SHe will tuck her head back and squint her eyes. I think she knows she's not supposed to act that way, but sometimes she just does. Maybe it is over stimulation, as Jazzcat said. Maybe a squirt gun would work, but then again this is the same cat that sticks her head in the shower to see what Mom is doing in there.
