The close contact pet owners have with their pets increases the possibility of injuries due to cat bites. This is true especially in kids who have not been taught how to handle pets properly. 

Here are ways to protect you and your family from being bitten by your kitty:

• Kittens should be trained to stop nipping or biting while still very young.
• When playing with your kitty, use toys which can be tied on a string, like a fishing pole.
• Know your cat’s body language. Even when petting your kitty, warning signs may be evident before your pet nips at you. This is what you call petting induced aggression. Some common signs manifested before aggressive behavior include growling, flicking of the ears, or tail lashing.
• Know where your kitty does not like to be touched. Many cats don’t like being touched on their paws, chest or back legs.

You should seek professional help from a vet clinic Anoka if you are dealing with any aggressive pet behavior.
