How can I prevent the cat at home from biting?

Problem description:

The question is simple, but it has been bothering me for a long time.

Many things in the house have bite marks.

What should I do?

It can't go on like this.

Who can help me?

Analysis:

Cats will practice predation skills when they grow up, and biting is one of the main contents. It is unrealistic to completely stop their biting behavior. The solution is to distract it with some toys.

There are many toys suitable for cats to scratch and bite, which can be bought from pet shops or made of waste materials at home. In order to make cats interested in toys, some toys contain catnip, which is a drug with great appeal to all cats and is usually only used to help correct stubborn bad behavior. Pet shops in China have small linen bags filled with catnip and cat scratch boards filled with catnip powder. Cats will forget these toys. In foreign countries, in addition to selling mouse toys filled with catnip, ground catnip, canned catnip seeds and soil, pet shops can also buy them home and grow them themselves, so that cats can eat fresh catnip. Catnip will not only make cats crazy and happy, but also induce vomiting.

The effect of catnip is short-lived, neither addictive nor side effects. About 50% of cats react to the smell of catnip. When they get a toy or catnip grass with catnip, they will rub their heads on it, then roll around in a daze, even drool and lick catnip. But it won't be long before I suddenly wake up. I seemed embarrassed by my gaffe just now, and walked away as if nothing had happened. It is said that all cats (tigers, lions ...) react to catnip. How strange!

If you buy catnip, you should pay attention to the following points when using it:

Don't give it to cats often. If you use it too often, the cat will not be sensitive to the smell, but will only lick it and stop rolling.

Don't give the cat too much catnip at a time, just pinch the thumb cover. Cats that "smoke" too much catnip at a time can cause difficulty breathing.

In fact, as long as you spend more time, you can also make toys that cats can't put down. Here are two examples:

Don't throw away the paper box for cats. Fill the box with small toys such as table tennis and mice, or simply put snacks and cat grass, then seal the gaps around with transparent tape, and then cut a few irregular holes on the surface of the box with scissors, just enough to hold one or two cat claws. All right, it's done. Give it to the cat!

Cats will try to take toys and snacks out of the box, but it's not easy. Let it go quickly! It was not until the box was completely scratched that the cat proudly enjoyed the victory. This box is enough for him to play all day.

The fake mouse wraps a ball with discarded cloth strips, and ties an elastic band on it. One end of the elastic band is pulled on the hand to make the thrown ball bounce back under the elastic force. Cats will be keen on chasing and biting "small animals" that look like living ones.

When the cat grows up, the habit of biting will decrease even if it is not corrected deliberately. Another act of destroying furniture is scratching. You can also use the cat scratch board of catnip to attract the cat's attention. Once you get used to the cat scratching at the board, it has no interest in ordinary furniture.
