The "3-Second" Mistake: Why Your Cat Actually Bites While Purring

Ever wonder why your cat goes from purring to biting in exactly 3 seconds? It’s not "moodiness"—it’s a biological survival reflex you’re accidentally triggering. 🐾

In today’s episode of Feline Facts, we decode the mystery of Overstimulation Aggression. Most American cat owners view petting as a massage, but for a cat, it can quickly turn into "Tickling Torture." We’re diving deep into the science of feline mechanoreceptors, static electricity, and the 10,000-year-old "Belly Trap."

If you’ve ever felt betrayed by a sudden nip, this video will change how you touch your cat forever. We reveal the "Feline Consent Test"—a simple strategy used by top behaviorists to stop the biting and build a bond of total trust.

In this video, we cover:
