Cat keeps biting, recommended techniques not working.

Appreciate the question — let's unpack this. It's understandable to feel frustrated when your cat's biting behavior isn't improving despite your efforts. Cats may bite for several reasons, such as playfulness, feeling threatened, or experiencing discomfort.



First, let’s consider any potential triggers. If your cat tends to bite during play, they might be overly stimulated or confused about boundaries. In such cases, redirecting their energy with toys that don't involve your hands, like fishing pole toys, can be beneficial. Providing multiple short play sessions each day may also help burn off excess energy.



If your cat is biting because they feel threatened or overstimulated, observe their body language closely. Signs of aggression or stress, like flattened ears or a twitching tail, are cues to give them space. Creating a safe, quiet area for your cat to retreat to can greatly reduce stress.



Watch for other signs that may suggest pain or health issues, like changes in appetite, grooming habits, or litter box use. These could indicate an underlying medical problem.



If the behavior persists or escalates, it's wise to book a video consult with a Dial A Vet professional. They can help tailor a plan specific to your cat's needs and ensure there are no health concerns contributing to the behavior.
