Cat communication methods are abundant and they don&rsquo;t only consist of meows, purrs, hisses, and other strange sounds. <em>&ldquo;Why does my cat bite me in the morning?&rdquo;<\/em> Oh, that might be one of the methods!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&ldquo;Why does my cat wake up in the morning only to choose violence?&rdquo;<\/em>, you ask yourself, your friends, Google, and anyone else who&rsquo;s willing to listen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&ldquo;And,<\/em> <em>why does she bite my toes when they&rsquo;re wiggling from under the blanket? Why does she munch on the strands of my hair peeking from under the pillow? Why, why, why?!&rdquo;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What&rsquo;s the deal with the biting behavior? Most humans would say that biting can <em>ONLY<\/em> be a reflection of aggression. But, when human babies bite they say <em>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s not because she&rsquo;s aggressive! It&rsquo;s because they&rsquo;re exploring the world around them!&rdquo; <\/em>And, because your cat&rsquo;s your baby, something doesn&rsquo;t seem to add up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cats bite for a million different reasons &ndash; nothing new, nothing to freak out over, or contact your vet to schedule an appointment. Kittens bite because they don&rsquo;t know better and they don&rsquo;t know how else to communicate how they&rsquo;re feeling. Grown cats bite out of fear, aggression, love of attention, and&hellip; love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, before we tackle the <em>&ldquo;why does my cat bite me in the morning,&rdquo;<\/em> why don&rsquo;t we throw a glance at some of the reasons why she bites your, your furniture, and your friends <em>at all? <\/em>Grab your pen and paper, and get to writing because we&rsquo;ve been generous with our contribution to your research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-do-cats-bite\">Why do cats bite? <\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-1280x853.jpg\" alt=\" Why Does My Cat Bite Me In The Morning What Does She Want\" class=\"wp-image-16100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-640x426.jpg 640w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-735x490.jpg 735w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want.jpg 924w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201280%20853'%3E%3Crect%20width='1280'%20height='853'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\" Why Does My Cat Bite Me In The Morning What Does She Want\" class=\"wp-image-16100 eager-load\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-1280x853.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-640x426.jpg 640w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-735x490.jpg 735w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want.jpg 924w\" data-svg=\"1\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Why do cats do anything that they do? Because they&rsquo;re cats. Because there&rsquo;s nobody there to stop them and teach them there&rsquo;s nothing <em>&ldquo;fun&rdquo;<\/em> or <em>&ldquo;ameowzing&rdquo; <\/em>about knocking down your human&rsquo;s favorite mug off the shelf. And, because they&rsquo;re communicating different things through different means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, we can&rsquo;t forget about the fact that cats and kittens don&rsquo;t bite for the same reasons. Kittens bite because they&rsquo;re exploring the world one bite at a time. As a matter of fact, kittens develop manners from a very young age because other cats (and other animals) don&rsquo;t respond that great to bites and scratches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, some kittens might get separated from the rest of the litter without learning valuable lessons. When kittens decide to munch on the toes, make sure you don&rsquo;t encourage such behavior because you think <em>&ldquo;it&rsquo;s cute&rdquo;<\/em> and <em>&ldquo;it doesn&rsquo;t hurt.&rdquo;<\/em> Trust me, the biting behavior won&rsquo;t go away when the kitten grows older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, grown cats bite out of fear, aggression, and\/or lack of proper training. Cats might bite you when they&rsquo;re asserting dominance. They may even think of you as a threat (which wouldn&rsquo;t work for the whole <em>&ldquo;why does my cat bite me in the morning&rdquo;<\/em> thing).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, cats can bite because of something you did to provoke such a response. <em>&ldquo;Me?! She knows I would never do anything to provoke her to bite me!&rdquo;<\/em> We&rsquo;re bringing you a bunch of reasons why your fluffy friend might bite you in the morning and you can draw your conclusions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-does-my-cat-bite-me-in-the-morning\">Why does my cat bite me in the morning? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-mom-give-me-my-breakfast-right-meow\">1. <em>&ldquo;Mom, give me my breakfast right meow!&rdquo; <\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-2-1280x853.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16102\" srcset=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-2-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-2-640x426.jpg 640w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-2-735x490.jpg 735w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-2.jpg 924w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-2-1280x853.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16102 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-2-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-2-640x426.jpg 640w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-2-735x490.jpg 735w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-2.jpg 924w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-2.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Cats should be affectionate, cuddly, and snuggly when they wake up, right? Oh, your fluffy friend should approach you with the most silent pitter-patter of the paws and let out the most melodious of meows as soon as she sees you wiggle your toes. <em>&ldquo;Hmm, my cat&rsquo;s broken! She bites me as soon as she wakes up!&rdquo;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you start looking for the <em>&ldquo;restore to factory settings&rdquo;<\/em> button underneath the fluff, consider the fact that she might be biting you because she&rsquo;s hungry. Maybe you don&rsquo;t feed her before you go to sleep. Maybe you sleep longer than she can listen to her tummy grumble and growl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever the reason might be, give your furry friend a bite of turkey and watch her little face light up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-because-that-s-her-way-of-saying-i-love-you\">2. Because that&rsquo;s her way of saying <em>&ldquo;I love you!&rdquo; <\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cats don&rsquo;t have that many ways they can communicate how they feel, do they? They can meow, purr, or throw a tantrum. They can wiggle their little butts, <a href=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/why-does-my-cat-hit-me-with-her-tail\/\" data-lasso-id=\"1139\">puff up their tails<\/a>, or arch their backs. And, they can bite you as a way of saying <em>&ldquo;You&rsquo;re the worst!&rdquo;<\/em> and <em>&ldquo;I love you!&rdquo;<\/em>, at the same time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, how do you know which one&rsquo;s which? Observe what your fluffy friend does after she gives you a little nibble the moment you wake up from a nap. When the bite appears to be soft and she doesn&rsquo;t appear to be aggressive or angry, chances are she&rsquo;s claiming you as one of her own and professing her love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-because-she-s-looking-for-attention\">3.

But, every time she orchestrates her little ambush attack, you can&rsquo;t help but provide her with whatever she wants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether she wants you to chase her across the room, play with her stuffed toys, or run after butterflies &ndash; Mrs. McFluffer gets what Mrs. McFluffer wants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-stop-my-cat-from-biting-me-in-the-morning\">How to stop my cat from biting me in the morning?<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-5-1280x853.jpg\" alt=\"Why Does My Cat Bite Me In The Morning What Does She Want\" class=\"wp-image-16107\" srcset=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-5-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-5-640x426.jpg 640w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-5-735x490.jpg 735w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-5.jpg 924w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-5-1280x853.jpg\" alt=\"Why Does My Cat Bite Me In The Morning What Does She Want\" class=\"wp-image-16107 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-5-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-5-640x426.jpg 640w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-5-735x490.jpg 735w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-5.jpg 924w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DONE-Why-Does-My-Cat-Bite-Me-In-The-Morning-What-Does-She-Want-5.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-5\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Oh, the first headbutt&rsquo;s a little spooky! But, whenever she attacks you out of the blue, you can&rsquo;t help but chuckle because she&rsquo;s purrfect and she&rsquo;s pouncing on top of your stomach like there&rsquo;s no tomorrow. But, when the ambush attacks turn to wounds and never-healing scratches, you know you have to stop her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&ldquo;Why does my cat bite me in the morning? How do I stop my cat from biting me in the morning?&rdquo;<\/em> Here&rsquo;s what you do when your search history starts looking a lot like the questionnaire at the vet&rsquo;s office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First things first, give your fluffy friend toys that are going to stimulate her hunting prowess and get rid of the extra energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, don&rsquo;t forget to give her consistent responses to her behavior. Don&rsquo;t encourage her by fighting with her, roughing her fluff with your bare hands, or giving her what she wants. And, don&rsquo;t shy away from scheduling appointments with vets and behaviorists that can offer you a helping hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related post:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/why-does-my-cat-lick-me-then-bite-me\/\" data-lasso-id=\"1142\">Why Does My Cat Lick Me Then Bite Me?
