Today I adopted a cat that was being rehomed who is very, very affectionate. She asks for belly rubs and loves being pet and she purrs very loudly. However sometimes when I'm petting her and she is really into it, she will randomly grab my hand with her two front paws and try to bite me? And it is random, her body language is completely positive before she goes in to bite. I yank away and she uses her claws to try to grab my hand back, then hisses.
I'm not sure what to do because my other cat has never had any behavior like this before. After it happens she goes right back to headbutting and asking for belly rubs like she didn't just try to hurt me.
It has happened four times and I've responded in four different ways. This is why I am asking for advice because I'm lost as to how to handle this.
The first time I ignored it and petted her head where she couldn't bite me again.
Second time I made a loud noise to scare her and left the room.
Third time I pulled away and just stayed in the same room.
Fourth time I immediately withdrew affection and left the room.
Why is she doing this and how do I train her to stop. Please help.
