While cats love cuddling with their humans, they are still very sensitive creatures and can only handle a certain level of tactile stimulation. When you over-pet your cat, this could trigger an aggressive behavior such as nipping or swiping at your hands during cuddling sessions. Because of the nature of cats, you must be very alert when handling your furball. Observe the changes in the cat’s body language such as when she starts emitting a low growl, ears are directed flat on the back of her head, a flickering of the ears, lashing of the tail, or certain parts of the cat’s skin may be twitching. Another thing to keep an eye out for is when your pet suddenly shifts her position, stares at you for long periods, and stops purring. Once you see any of these signs, you should stop petting your pet and stand up or move away from him.
If you have concerns about your pet’s behavior, talk to your professional vet Gresham OR.
