고양이가 손가락을 물었다고 해서 실제로 공격적인 경우는 드뭅니다. 사람도 고양이처럼 두꺼운 털과 잘 늘어나는 피부를 가졌다면, 살짝 무는 정도는 그리 아프지 않을 것입니다. 같은 배에서 태어난 새끼들끼리, 또 어미 고양이와 새끼 고양이 사이에서 물고 씹는 행동은 흔하고 자연스럽게 받아들여집니다. 고양이가 손가락을 살짝 문다면, 다른 고양이에게 하듯 여러분에게 애정을 표현하는 것일 가능성이 큽니다.
고양이가 이렇게 다정하게 구는 것은 사랑스럽지만, 살짝 무는 행동은 멈추게 하는 것이 좋습니다. 특히 실수로 피가 날 정도라면 더욱 그렇습니다!
고양이의 의도는 긍정적이므로, 소리를 지르거나 꾸짖으며 호의에서 나온 행동을 거절하지 않는 것이 좋습니다. 고양이를 바닥에 내려놓고 쓰다듬는 시간을 멈추면 효과가 있을 수 있습니다. 씹는 행동을 하면 여러분과 함께하는 특별한 시간이 잠시 끝난다는 것을 고양이가 배우게 되기 때문입니다. 시간이 걸릴 수는 있지만, 결국 이러한 연관성을 확실히 이해하게 될 것입니다.
새끼 고양이의 씹는 행동은 이갈이와 관련이 있을 수도 있습니다. 불편함을 해소하기에 손가락이 편리한 ‘씹는 장난감’이 되는 것이죠. 이것이 문제의 일부라고 생각된다면, 고양이 전용 장난감이나 씹어 먹는 간식처럼 갉아 물 수 있는 대안을 제공해 보세요.
My Cat JB, chews on my hands when he wants me to do something and he thinks that I am not getting the message! Time to put out more food. time to get out of bed and make kitty breakfast!
Britt
Naw, they are just looking for a nice hunk of meat to sink their teeth into rather than eat that grain filled pet food we force upon them
JB
I am not Shirley's cat, but my kitten Kai Lani is constantly after my fingers. Teething/playtoys I believe. In any case, my solution is a pair of leather work gloves that allow both Kai Lani and me to enjoy the playfulness.
Susan
My 17year old Birman still thinks he can chew on my knees!
Solution?
Stop wearing shorts!
Mariam
My two kittens started to lick and chew my finger it's not hurtful at all but I keep asking why do they like chewing my finger i
ToriBear
My cat tends to bite my fingers but not to hard. He licks them and bites them and usually purrs when he does that. Makes sense that hes just showing some love. He's a sweet baby.

My friend has 3 cats who get lots of love from me when I visit or pet sit them. All of them occasionally put their mouth over my finger. At first it was almost like nursing though they are all adults. But Precious, a very affectionate calico Persian has started chewing. The chewing has gotten harder and it hurts. I am the one who feeds them when I pet sit, and they sleep with me (almost ON me!) So I guess it's love bites?
Gerald Knowlton
My cat was just being all cute and sweet and cuddling. When he was lightly lightly nibbling on my fingers when all the sudden he started biting down I had to flick his little nose nothing harder anything so don't be calling Peta on me haha. I looked at him and told him that it hurt. He did the cutest thing ever he licked my fingers and purred gave me kisses and then left....true story no lie it was super adorable

I have an adult cat that is 6 months old and he will be giving me lots of love one moment then he will start to chew on my fingers. I really don't know what got him to start doing this. He hasn't drew blood but the chewing hurts and I am unsure why he does this. He has never done this in the 4 and a half months I have had him. I usually just have to walk away for him to get the message that it isn't acceptable!
Jami
My 14 mo male neutered cat acts like a baby. He still meows at me like a kitten and he chews and licks on everything I own. He chews my fingers, my cell phone, purse, my computer, etc. He was adopted. Was he just weaned too early?
Samantha Lynn Manning
The cat was taste testing you before and now it has decided you are tasty enough for it to try.
Judi
My 10 year old cat stiii will nibble on my hand or arm. It's no more than nibbling, if that. She seems to do it most often when we go to bed. I think she means it as affection. Her daughter-cat has never done this. Surprising!
Your Nan
Don't listen to her...the cat is being affectionate...but if the bites get too hard for you to handle, then put the cat down until the hard biting stops.
Linda
I just adopted a kitty that they say is about a year old. I am wondering if he is younger because he is constantly chewing my fingers (when I gently say "no teeth" he does stop, but it is a persistent behavior. This afteroon my 5 year old was eating and Totem, the new kitty, bit her hindside. He chases her relentlessly more like a little cat, although he's 10 pounds and the 5 year old is 7 pounds.
Chris
I believe it is mostly teething well for my cat it is cuz he lies in between my legs in bed and will take his paws and bring my finger to his mouth goes through each individual one but the thumb is his go too lol nice and thick and just goes to town he’s less then a year old so he’s still got some growing to do I would assume it is my first cat after all
Sharky
One of my cats (female, age 4, has been with me since she was 6 months old) likes to gently gnaw on my wrist. I know I should discourage this, but she purrs while she does it so it's sort of sweet. She's a very affectionate cat.
Eiron
My cat is almost a year old. She keeps smelling my hands and she will lick me then draw blood. Or she waits until i am asleep and I wake up to her drawing blood
Ladyace
My cat will be 2 in October an still chews on my fingers it does not hurt so is she still teething
MKING
Our little cat is now almost 7 years old: She pads for 20 minutes at a time on us and then settles. Occasionally she will take the end of one of my fingers in one or both paws and lick the end of my finger and then clean under my finger nails! She never bites except to clean under the nails. It's just affection like chewing my hair.
Sambone
My adult cat chews on my fingers especially in the morning and in the evening when I am late to feed him. I know he is telling me I want my food now. He has dry food but this is when he wants his canned food.
Elle
My Luna does this to me all the time. Instead of completely curbing her behavior by stopping immediately and putting her down, as I feel that rejecting the affection entirely would be rude, I simply tell her "Ow, that hurts", pull my hand away, shake my finger at her then give it back. She has come to realize that my skin isn't as resilient to her teeth and she still does it but at a pleasant level and rarely bites too hard anymore.
Luke
My cat, an eleven year old tom, went through a lot in his early life, but now he is settled and content at our home. If he ever sees me sitting down he will most likely jump up into my lap, which is nice, but after a while he will want to gnaw on my fingers and then bite down and most likely draw blood. This was very helpful. Also, most cats will react to scratching above their tail (like being tickled). My cat is most of the time very reactive to this even if I rub around it. And a lot of the time will try to gnaw my fingers after doing this.
