Why do cats want to shoot you?What do you want to do?
Why do cats slap you with their paws?
Xiaoyi traveled at home and abroad**, and collected inferences with wide popularity and high recognition, mainly the following four types:
Shooting you is a sign of love for you
Cats have interdigital glands on their paws that secrete pheromones that "occupy territory".
So, when the cat gently pats you with its paws, it may be marking you, and this is my shovel officer
Sweet "burden".

When a cat is near you, patting you with its paws may be confirming your location.
Because of the catsThere are more or less mild nearsightedness problems, so to feel that you are still by your side, so pat you with a claw.
Domineering forced love!

All in all,This gentle pat may be the cat's way of showing love to youOh!
Shoot you are what you want your attention
It's the same as forcibly occupying your keyboard and deliberately knocking over your water glassSlapping you with a paw may also be there to get your attention。It may also be accompanied by constant meowing and headbutting you.
People deliberately ignore cats, people are bad!

Especially in: cats have nothing to do and want to have some fun.
When it's time to eat or you're hungry, the bowl is empty.
I want to poop, but the litter box is too dirty, etc.
In these scenes, the cat takes the initiative to slap you a little harder with its pawsIt is precisely to keep your attention to them and meet their needs
Slapping you is driving away the dominance behavior
At this time, the cat's strength is not gentle.
The cat's claw is small, but it has a lot of power!And at this time, they may also stick out their nails, and the damage is up!

When catsWhen trying to establish dominance, you may behave aggressively towards other creatures, including but not limited to slapping, gnawing, growling, etc.
Aggressive cats may even defend their territory against other creatures, which may be driven away by slapping.
This meow doesn't want other meows to come to bed.

So, in this case,Due to your low status, Big Cat "educates" you by "patting you". Young man, don't bother big brother if it's okay!
Shooting you is imitating you
It sounds unreliable, but it's a possibility.
Because in 2019, there was a cat named "Ebisu", and in the test, it appeared to clearly imitate human behavior.
Ebisu meow that imitates the owner.

So,If your cat has a superior IQ and is a top self-learner, maybe, it may be out of a "mimicry" destination to photograph you
Judging from the whole situation, what do you think your meow is patting you for?
So when the kitten pats you, how can the shovel officer respond?
When a cat shoots you, how do you respond?
It depends on how you define this "beat".
Shoot me, it's love me!
If you think it's a cat's love and you want them to love you more, try to strengthen that "love".
And when the spicy species is slapped by QQ bullets and soft and glutinous paw pads, there is even a wonderful sense of pleasure (?）

So when the kitten pats you, you can try to give a little benefit, such as: favorite snacks (small amounts), petting the cat's head, etc. Build stronger positive feedback

Shoot me, bother me!
Sometimes the shoveler can get the cat's pat, out of some kind of need.
But it may be because they don't want to be disturbed when they sleep, and the cat can't eat anymore in **, etc., they can't meet their needs in time, and think that when this "pat" disturbs them, it's okayTake certain negative measures
Take a chestnut, sleeping is slapped, and you can't respond to TA for the sake of the child's health. At this time, the best option is to play "dead"!

Over time, the cat will know that this slapping will not get food, and may give up.
Shoot me, hurt me!
In the frantic slapping of the cat after sticking out its nails, there are not ten injured shovel officers, but also eight, sometimes it is really an unwarranted disaster, how to deal with this?

CatsWhen emotional, do not approach themto prevent accidental injury!
If the cat sees you as a little brother and has a dominant behavior towards you.
In order to reduce the degree of damage,Trim your cat's nails regularlyIt's necessary. After all, there is a difference between blunt and sharp weapons.
Generally speaking, the cat's "pat" has many meanings, sometimes it may be a positive expression of love, and sometimes it is a negative and forcible domination.
But!Either way, I believe that all the shovelers here are willing to do it
Otherwise, why doesn't he shoot someone else and just shoot me?
