minus-squareSeagoon_linkfedilinkarrow-up6·9 months agoTed Cat won’t stop biting. Just nips but they are still bad and unacceptable. I think he does it as a way to get what he wants. I sometimes gently tap him on nose or bum but this gives him a huge fright and makes him defensive as if I’ve beaten him. Not sure what to do. I try to have a very reliable routine so he doesn’t have to feel insecure.
