I was just stroking my cat last night as always. She was purring away, closing her eyes, then out of nowhere, she went ballistic and started grabbing on to my arm and scratching and biting my hand pretty badly.

5 minutes later, she was fine. Why the hell do they do this?

maybe she wanted to play?

ours kinda does that, although she doesnt hurt, she kinda holds on to your hand and puts her mouth round your hand, never bites though, and only get hurt if u pull away quick(from her claws)

The trick is not to pull away. Push into the cats ribcage/stomach. Not hard, but the point is that when they feel you moving in towards their unprotected area they soon let go.

I used to have a cat who was a maniac, he wouldn't think twice about drawing blood if you tried to pull away. Got him from the cats home. He'd been mistreated and was a bit mad.

I've got quite bad scratches on my arms from it. Dont think she was playing.

I think it's like they are practicing fighting techniques. Front claws and teeth dig in whilst the back legs scratching away at you.
