But, it&rsquo;s important to learn as much as we possibly can about it in order to react to it properly. Understanding their behavior deepens our relationship with them and ensures we stay besties forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your little furry biter might be causing you some trouble and making you wreck your brain trying to figure out the meaning behind her peculiar behavior. But in the end, there is no question that you can&rsquo;t google and find an answer to in just a few seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All jokes aside, let&rsquo;s see what are the 7 possible reasons behind your cat&rsquo;s biting habit so you can no longer wonder about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-your-cat-was-separated-from-her-mother-way-too-early\">1.

If they have been separated from their mother way too early, they are deprived of many useful lessons and have to seek comfort and understanding elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, it is very common for kittens to think about their owners as their new mothers since now they&rsquo;re the ones who take care of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, your kitten might be biting your ear because of this reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That area between your neck and shoulder is a purrfect place for a kitten to curl up. And from that perspective, your ear lobe may remind your little kitty of a nipple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re not particularly fond of this ear-biting habit, then fear not. Most kittens outgrow this habit as they mature. So, maybe you just have to endure the kitten stage and you&rsquo;ll be good to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-your-cat-is-attracted-to-the-smell-of-your-earwax\">2.

Most humans pay no attention to their earwax. For them, it is just something they clean from their ears as a part of their hygiene. And that&rsquo;s about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are probably not even aware of the smell your earwax has, but your cat is and she can smell it from a few feet away. And the crazy thing is, she actually enjoys it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason why your cat loves it so much is because the aroma of the earwax stimulates her senses. So it&rsquo;s no wonder your cat bites your ears here and there. And don&rsquo;t be surprised if she shows interest in another cat&rsquo;s ears as well as in the ears of other animals, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-your-cat-likes-your-ears\">3.

Especially if she has sensitive teeth or other dental issues since the structure of your ear is a perfect mixture of both firm and wobbly skin.

Then, she might rub herself against you or climb up your leg with her paws, trying to reach you (while still meowing, of course).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, if you happen to be so invested in the work you do, your book, television, or basically anything, be sure she will find her way to invade your personal space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if your cat&rsquo;s habit of biting your ear might be her way of saying, <em>&ldquo;Hey hooman, I&rsquo;m here!

There&rsquo;s no such thing that doesn&rsquo;t have the potential to become their toy. And no matter how many toys we buy for them, they will still find some random object more suitable for them to play with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My cat is exactly like that. I&rsquo;ve got her so many cat toys, but the things she most enjoys are paper bags, toilet paper rolls, and aluminum foil balls I simply have to make her when I&rsquo;m cooking something in the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, as I previously mentioned, she loves my ears! Especially if I&rsquo;m wearing some dangling earrings, which I do most of the time. She is so mesmerized by them and would definitely take every opportunity she has to catch them with her little paws and teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And when I&rsquo;m not wearing them, it&rsquo;s almost like she is trying to find them behind my ear. Which results in her nibbling on my earlobe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, besides being on a quest to find my missing earrings, she sometimes bites my ears to initiate playtime. As said before, that&rsquo;s their way of grabbing our attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if your cat is anything like mine (or pretty much any other cat), then you know what to do. Take her biting your ear as a reminder to get up and bring out the toys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-your-cat-is-showing-her-love\">6.
