Why Do Cats Bite Their Humans: Viral Thread Explaining Overstimulation In Cats

Cats have all kinds of behavioral quirks. Some cats like sitting in boxes, some do not. Some cats have a weird obsession with bread, some do not. Some cats like sitting on fresh laundry, some cats like sweets, some cats sit on egg cartons and steal food right off our plates, and some will run across your face in the middle of the night like a freight train and scare the heck out of you. And some cats bite. They do. And biting does not inherently mean that they hate you. Cats bite their humans for many reasons, and adrianontherocks, on imgur, does an incredible job of explaining it. Cats can bite as a sign of affection, and they can bite as a sign of overstimulation (or, of course, real aggression). It is your job as the owner to figure it out and see what to do about it.
