Everytime someone tries to pet my cat's stomach, she thinks they're playing. So at first she just paws at them, and then randomly she starts scratching (claws out) and biting them, and usually she leaves marks! Is there anyway to teach her not to do that?

don't get her de-clawed, that's really cruel. You would be taking away her only means of deffence. Instead carry around a spray bottle full of water. Eadch time she attacks spray her. It won't take long before she figures it out.

getting her de-clawed is not the answer. Most cats don't like there stomach petted and this could be why she or he dose this. Now I have 2 cats and only one of them like to have her stomach rubbed and the other one would rather tare you are off then to be rubbed.

I would not de-claw a cat, its a death sentence if they ever get outdoors. Some cats don't mind their bellies stroked, some do. Mine likes it, but I have cats that don't. If the cat doesn't like it, don't do it. My cat loves to have her head petted so thats what she gets.

Don't get her declawed, she'll be more viscous. Thats just mean "cat lover" With cats, you have to play with them with toys only, otherwise, they think hands are fun toys or other cats to attack. She's not fighting with peoples hands, she is playing with them. Thats how rough cats play with eachother. So if you want her to stop doing that, you have to not roughhouse with kitty, and tell her no firmly when she tries. I say 'ow ' to my kitty when he does it too hard, and he stops and starts licking me. Also, a lot of cats don't like their bellys touched, especially spayed females.

My cat has the same reaction. They either don't like it, or they think you're playing. Don't pet your cat there unless you want to play. And if he/she gets too rough, stop. They'll get the point eventually.

This is just a cat's nature. It gets betterwith age, but it is best to have her declawed, unless you will let her out. In that case do not declaw her becuase she will be defensless outdoors.

It is not good that someone disturb your cat, otherwise cats are vary loving.
