British Shorthair Cat

　　The best way to train cats not to bite fingers is not to tease them with fingers. Due to the owner’s incorrect guidance, over time, the cat will form a habit of treating fingers as toys. If the cat has already developed this finger-biting habit, the first thing the owner should do is avoid random scolding or hitting; this will only make the cat rebellious, which is not conducive to training.

　　To some extent, owners who like to tease cats and encourage them to bite fingers are condoning the formation of this biting habit. Some people like to feed cats with food held in their hands or play with toys using their hands. Kittens haven’t learned to retract their claws and don’t know their strength, so they may accidentally scratch. If owners do not stop them or make the cats realize this is wrong, they will develop a habit of scratching. Simply put, to make cats sensible and obedient and not randomly bite fingers, strict education and training should begin when the cat is young. Owners should set an example and not lead cats to bite fingers.

　　In addition, cats may like to bite fingers due to special reasons. For example, when kittens are teething or replacing teeth, to relieve oral discomfort, cats like to chew on things. No matter what, they like to put it in their mouths and chew noisily. Therefore, owners should not forcibly stop the cat; they can satisfy the cat’s needs in a different way. You shouldn’t let cats bite your fingers, but you can buy some chew toys and dental chews so cats can chew at any time, which both meets the cat’s growth needs, prevents destruction, and stops them from developing a bad habit of biting.
