I think most cat owners will have at one time or another experienced being bitten by your beloved pet. Especially when your cat had just experienced an unpleasant experience such as being severely injured, frighten or basically suffering in pain.

Any cat, no matter how docile he may be, has the potential to bite anyone at all time . It is important to recognize this and take proper precautions to keep from being bitten. It is therefore wise to always have control of a cat’s head when handling or restraining your cat.

There are several effective ways to handle and restrain a cat. Your choice will depend on whether the individual animal is tranquil and cooperative or frightened and aggressive. Remember that cats have five sets of weapons—one mouth and four feet. They are extremely skilled in using these weapons, and will not hesitate to do so.

Therefore, it pays to be extra careful and not fall into the complacent trap even though your cat has been acting docile all the time. In a way, you can not only prevent injuries to yourself, it will also help to maintain the close relationship that you have with your pet cat all along.
