Why do young domestic cats bite your hands and ankles aggressively during quiet relaxation hours?
My cat will be sitting perfectly calm next to me on the sofa then suddenly clamp their teeth around my bare wrist or pounce on my ankles when I walk past. How do I train them to stop this behavior?

This is play aggression triggered by pent-up predatory instincts. Felines require structural outlets for their hardwired stalking chasing and biting desires. Never utilize your bare hands as play tools; instead redirect their energy using long wand feather toys twice a day to exhaust their natural hunting drives.
