Why a cat attacks its owner after playtime


By AGENCY

We should never involve our hands in the play activity. Cats start to accept them as toys and treat them as such. Photo: TNS/Dreamstime

Dear Joan – I’m writing about my friend and her five-year-old cat.He is lovable to her. He needs a lot of attention, which she makes sure he gets. She plays with him a lot. Instead of just walking away, like most cats I know do when they’ve had enough, he starts going after her and really bites her legs.

No matter what she does, he doesn’t stop. I don’t know if he gets overwhelmed or too wound up. Any ideas how to deal with this would be welcome.
