Hi so there's a cat that's nearly always outside my house. She nearly always hides and keeps herself hidden from humans but when she sees me she'll either start meowing so I can find her or she'll run up to me and then start purring all over me. She constantly meows but when she sees other humans she'll keep quiet until they move along.
Last night she meowed for me to find her and I did. I was petting her for quite some time and she was meowing as always when suddenly she just turned around and bit me out of the blue.
It's a pretty hard bite too, I bled (very slowly) for about 30-45mins after washing and it's still sore now because it's actually pretty deep.
My question is what did I do to agitate her? I'm really confused. I've never cared for a cat before.
