Cat rough housing Anonymous 2016-03-22 12:56:01 Post No. 2086808 [Report]

I adopted a lovely 4 year old big tom cat a few weeks ago and he's an affectionate bastard but after a minute if heabutting your hand got pets he flops down and wants to wrestle. No claws but plenty of biting and nipping, just play bites though. It doesn't really hurt I'm just not sure if this is normal behaviour or if he might get more aggressive.

Do your cats like rough housing about?

He is an outdoor cat but he can't go out for another week.

This is the first time I've had, all the cats I grew up with were female.

Outdoor cats get like that when you have to keep them indoors for a long time for whatever reason. He should calm down once you start letting him out again.

That's not the reason for bite inhibition. Boredom, sure. But not biting, that's just silly

Try dipping your hand in hot sauce or lemon juice and bait him into biting. Bite inhibition happens for a variety of reasons, but now you have to make biting people seem like a shitty thing to do, AND give your cat something else to bite and play with instead.

dude your cat just really likes you, nothing to worry about. plus he's already an adult so it's not gonna get worse, cats get less aggressive/more calm as they age.
