How to train kittens to protect food and bite people? Kitten care is a common behavior and many cats show protective behavior around their food. However, if they start biting, then some extra training is required.

Owners can choose to pour cat food for the cat bit by bit when feeding, and then gently stroke their heads or backs while lowering their heads and eating. If the cat is in a state of food protection at this time, take the food away immediately. Then, continue to pour cat food for the cat bit by bit after a while, and repeat the previous feeding steps. Gradually, I train the cat to get used to the owner being next to me when eating.

Cats' food care behavior may be due to feeling insecure in the surrounding environment, or for some stray cats. For stray cats, stay away as soon as possible after placing food. Do not contact too much with stray cats and be careful of being bitten. Cat care is actually normal, but it is best not to hit cats.
