Briza has developed a nasty habit of random biting attacks and it's getting out of hand.
She's a very well loved and cared for cat, never abused and doesn't want or need anything. She gets all the attention she can desire and more... in other words, she's got a good life.
But sometimes without warning she bites. Someone said "oh she's just showing you that she loves you..." Now I know my cat likes me, she greets me at the door and is very talkative and sweet. But biting because she likes me? Uh... .
These are not gentle, playful bites. These are "I intend to hurt you bad" kind of bites.
Sometimes I can just walk through the kitchen and out of nowhere there's what feels like eighty-six claws and about fifteen fangs dug into the back of my leg. Almost made me fall on my face once.
Today I got home from work and we were playing on the bed. She's all purrs and sweet cat and the next thing I know, ears are back and she's sank fangs into my wrist. She doesn't have any spots that she doesn't like touched... tail, feet, doesn't bother her.
I pushed her off and said "no" forcefully. She immediately went back to sweet purring cat. For about ten minutes.
Sitting at the desk she hopped up and started purring, so I began petting her... until she took a chunk out of my thumb and left blood all over my keyboard and desk.
I will not hurt an animal, but I draw the line when I lose blood. She's off sulking somewhere while I clean up my wounds and desk.
What can I do to stop this? I've got bite marks all over the backs of my legs from just walking through my house, and today she went just a little too far.
