Love bites and love kicks

Oh yes, Midnight and Robin are both into this -- Midnight because she
"knows" she's superior; one minute she's licking your hand lovingly and the
next she's "love-biting" it, just to show us who really runs the household,
I think. Robin does the wrestling routine with my hands because I think he
hasn't really figured out how to "play" with a human.

Imp came to see me this morning!!! He hasn't done that in a while.

I'm half awake when I sense him behind me. I roll over slowly and
start scritching the side of this face. he leans into my hand and
eventually flops onto his side. This continues for a moment, with him
rubbing and leaning his head into my fingers, when suddenly i feel two
paws wrap around my hand.

Imp pulls my hand in close and bites it. Not hard enough to break the
skin, but enough to pinch. He continues to nibble on my hand lightly
and throws in a few kicks with his back feet. Then he stops.

I start scritching him again, and he bites me again. I try to remove
my hand but imp thinks now I'm trying to wrestle with him so he hangs
on and throws in a few more bites and kicks. I free my hand and he
just looks at me. I start scritching him again, but soon he's got my
hand again and biting it. After a while he gets tired and runs away

Fortunately he doesn't scratch me hard anymore. When I first adopted
him he used to totally scratch up my hands.

I guess this is a thing he does when he gets overstimulated or
something. Like the chin scratches are sooooo good he has to bite the
hand that's scratching him. Wait a sec, that doesn't really make
sense.......... Aw well, that's a cat for you.

Anyone else have kitties that give love bites and kicks?

Office kitty Tiger does this - he can't seem to help himself. Ozzy
does bite a little, but it seems to be an expression of grouchiness
with him. Mike also gave *hard* love bites that would draw blood. If
he wasn't playing, the bunny kicks weren't love - he meant it. So
far, Tallulah hasn't done this, and Hubert flees from love, so it
doesn't apply to him. ;-)

Yes, Vino will do that. We never raised him right and now he loves to play
with our hands. It's ok because he's mostly very gentle about it and when
he gets carried away we just have to yell "ouch!" and he ducks and backs
off. He ducks because we used to flick him on the forehead instead of
yelling ouch. Not hard, just with one finger.
Anyway, he'll be all into scritches and everything, and suddenly he gets
really playful and starts biting and rabbit kicking. Then he gets up and
runs a few feet away, turns towards us and gets ready to pounce. When this
happens, the only thing to do is to play with him, the scritching mood is
over.

Snoopy bites, sometimes she forgets herself and bites hard, then she
immediately looks sorry. It's impossible to be cross with her, even when
she draws blood. She will occasionaly grab my hand and kick when I'm
giving her belly rubs. It shows me how much she trusts me, she's a very
nervous cat she hides if there are strangers about.
