Like in cleaning itself? My cats do that, they find a part of their fur that is "unclean" and they bite at it, then lick it clean. They don't draw blood though, so if your cat is hurting itself by biting all the time, or drawing blood; you should take your cat the vet and have it checked out. Or, it may be because of fleas, the cat maybe biting itself to itch where the fleas are.

How do you train a biting and playful kitten?

Lightly scold and immediately ignore them when they are biting you. Kittens love attention, so a kitten will quickly learn that biting, scratching and other behaviours will get it ignored - so will stop such behaviour. NEVER hit your cat; this will just make it fearful of you. Cats respond poorly to negative reinforcement. Also, your kitten may be teething, so will be biting and chewing everything, no matter what you say or do. It is best to use soft toys, scrunched up paper balls, cardboard and even leather instead of your hands. These materials are soft and help relieve some discomfort in the kitten's gums.


Will your kitten ever stop biting?

Kittens bite not to hurt but to play. Your kitten will likely grow out of this. Adult cats will also bite. Cats usually bite when they're playing, trying to get your attention or warning you not to do something. For example if you scratch or rub your cats lower back he/she might bite you to tell you he/she doesn't like you doing that or just isn't in the mood for it. The best things to do is to learn your kitten's behaviour, especially how she acts when she's about to bite. Refrain from playing with her with your hands and use toys instead. When your kitten bites, you can either try and distract her attention with a toy, or make your hand or arm completely limp. A kitten will quickly grow bored of unmoving "prey" and will let go. Ignoring the kitten for a few minutes afterwards will also help. Kittens love attention, so a kitten will quickly learn that biting, scratching and other behaviours will get it ignored - so will stop such behaviour.

What does it mean when the cow is getting ready to have birth biting at her rear?

This question does not make any sense. Are you asking what's the meaning of a cow "biting at her rear" or that she's getting ready to give birth and biting at her rear or something else entirely? It almost sounds like a rhetorical question, or a question that answers itself, with you asking what the meaning of a biting her rear is and pretty much answering it by also mentioning that she is getting ready to give birth.

How can I teach a kitten how to clean itself?

To teach a kitten how to clean itself, gently stroke its fur with a damp cloth to mimic the sensation of grooming. Encourage the kitten to lick its fur by placing a small amount of wet food on its paw. Additionally, provide a clean litter box for the kitten to use for grooming its paws and face. Over time, the kitten will learn to groom itself naturally.
