Single Kitten Syndrome: The Answer We've All Been Waiting For About How To Stop Your Cat From Biting

Have you ever gone to pet your cat and it starts to bite your fingers because it thinks you're playing? We have. A lot. You might say no to them, or spray them with water when they try to bite, but cats don't understand the idea of "consequences". It just damages your relationship with your cat and teaches them to fear you. But this Instagrammer, Heidi Wrangles Cats shared this very informative video about something we had never heard about before: Single Kitten Syndrome.Kittens learn about biting when they're young, and apparently they learn about the boundaries of biting from other kittens and cats. Without that sensory stimulation of actually being bit, they will never learn the boundaries of when it is appropriate to bite and how hard to bite. Basically, she's advising that if you get a kitten, get two so they. have someone to wrestle and bite when they're younger so they don't do it when they're older. Fine! If we have to adopt more kittens, then we guess we must! You had to twist our arm really hard to make that one happen.
