Why Does My Kitten Bites Me When I Try To Pick Him Up2007-11-25 12:32:20Answers:

was he declawed?? declawed cats often become nervous biters..

I suggest you make a point of picking him up more so he is more comfortable about it.. and make sure you pick him up correctly (support his bottom DONT squeeze him around his middle or pick up by the scruff of his neck - this is ONLY when they are tiny and done my thier moms who dont have any other options)

---

coz he doesn't want you to keep picking him up, he's only a kitten play with him, roll tinfoil into a ball and roll it round the floor for him.

---

Some kittens just don't like to be handled. Don't try to pick him up, and eventually he will come to you for affection.

---

do you tease it? maybe it's hurting some where, or it's teething

---

It's his way of saying he likes/loves you.

---

Kittens play, and he probably thinks you are playing. Maybe the way you are picking the him up hurts him or just does not want to be picked up. My puppy growls when I pick her up, but she is just trying to be in control probably. Good luck :)

---

maybe it cuz the kitten does not like to be picked up or maybe ur picking him up alittle too hard.

---

perhaps he is possessed by the devil. You should consider an exorcism. Or just kill him, whatever's easier.

---

Hes probably just trying to play with you. Have you played with him using your hands? If so that could be the reason. Whenever you play with a kitten always use stuffed toys or other toys. If you use your hands to play with them they think of your hands as toys and will scratch and bite them. Hope this helps!

hes vicious!

---

Kittens and grown cats bite when they are playful and full of energy. Ever notice when 2 cats are together they bite, kick, lick, and cuddle with each other? This is natural feline behaviour.

There are two possible answers. One is that he's just playing. The other is that he doesn't want to be picked up and does want you to put him down again.

Some cats are a bit funny like that: My cats love to get in my lap for hugs and pets, but will protest a lot if you pick them up.
