What is Cat?

This is not betrayal. It’s communication.

What’s happening:

• Cats have a low tolerance for sustained stimulation.
• Petting builds pleasure → pleasure crosses threshold → overload.
• Bite is the warning. Leaving is the cooldown.

This is often called petting-induced overstimulation.

Key clues you missed:

• Tail flicks
• Ears rotating sideways
• Skin rippling
• Sudden stillness

The bite is:

• controlled
• brief
• not meant to injure

Cat logic:

“That was nice. Now it is too much. Goodbye.”
