It says University of Lincoln. Where's that? I hope not in the US. I certainly don't want my tax dollars spent on cat psychologists.

Swatting at your hand to say "no more" is one thing. Biting is another.

Animal experts study why cats sometimes bite owners when stroked

Because they don't like it.

There, problem solved. Where's my grant money?

Cats can be evil. I've owned a few.
They plot for your death as soon as they can work the can openner./sarcasm off/

Cats are not pack animals like dogs. If you tick them off, they will fight back and don't want to please you at all.

Maybe it's because they're cats and that's what they do.

It's simple, really:
Cats are evil.

I have a half-burmese, half-siamese who is playful, but very serious about his play.

He likes to wrestle with me, but after a minute he gets down to it- ears back, tail thrashing- and he grabs and bites. It's like not play anymore, but a serious struggle for survival to him. And he won't run, or try to slowly retreat, even after I push him away or give him a whack. He will stand and keep attacking my hand or, if I turn away, my ankle. Never seen anything quite like it.

"The truth is that we simply don't know the reason for this behaviour.

Haven't we already determined that the problem with your cat's aggression is simply brain damage?

Uh...I'd like to know why. I had a cat once that woke in the middle of the night and waged hell on anything that moved. Since it's not my tax dollars being used...It's ok.

AND.... I wanna know why dogs eat grass...

Sheesh...WHO are the idiots that PAY to have other idiots study this sort of thing?! Suffice to say....anybody who has a cat KNOWS when kitty is tired of being stroked. THAT is the CLUE to leave the stinking cat ALONE!

When my cat bit me once, I bit her back, hard enough to hurt a bit.

She was, well, shocked, and has never bit me again.

Ummm, 'cause we think it's cute and tolerate it? Cause we "play rough" with kitty, letting her bat and bite at us?
