love bites?
Sometimes when I am hugging and petting my cat she gives me a very
soft little bite. Since it is so gentle and she does it when I am giving her loves I think it must be a love bite. Does your cat do that? |

Our Benny will sometimes do that when I've been petting him. Just a tiny little nibble, then he will continue purring and rubbing for attention. |

Tiger does this sometimes as he settles down on my lap.

She is trying to let you know that your attentions are unwelcome at the time. Still, do not allow her to bite at all. Especially when she’s a kitten. Once they start, it's only a few years to a full- fledged bite. It can be a protest over not getting a wanted snackb or perhaps a bit of jealousy over attention given to a rival. But the point is, don’t let them start biting. Not even during play. We spent a year trying to get ours off the habit that *we* started in play- time. It cumulated in a nasty bite on the ankle for taking away a battered (but still-living) lizard that was a recent t hard-earned prize! Biting is the worst crime a cat can commot around here. And since that day, it's never happened again.. Ehrin (Ehrin Lloyd) |

Yes.....My cats give me love bites all the time....Usually when I am petting or scratching them, or brushing them. One of my problems is that I have psoriasis on my hands and arms, so their love bites frequently draw blood....:^) |

Several of mine have given love bites. Unfortunately, Jay Jay (16 lbs) gives a pretty hefty love bite. He can pop the blood vessel in my arm without breaking the skin. He also bit my face once. He was purring away, licked my face, and then bit me. It wasn't bad, but it should did hurt. I used to have a cat who chewed gently rather than biting. Didn't bother me at all. |
