No it does not. It makes you an observant and caring parent.

In the case of my cat, she was just too young to be placed in a household with A) younger children, and B) novice kitten wranglers. Once it was determined that she was only being a baby kitty (for real), resolving the problem became much easier; as she grew up and filled out properly, she stopped the 'biting' behavior and went for the head butts instead (something she still loves to do.

The only cat we have that 'bites' unexpectedly is our Siamese, AKA Max the Clueless. As is the case with most Siamese, he is seriously cross-eyed; if you move too quickly into his near vision range, he will sometimes nip in startlement (because he cannot focus clearly enough to see what's coming at him, a common problem with crossed-eyes). He gets a scold when that happens, but we also remember that we have to move a bit more slowly to avoid future issues.
