Love Bites!

I have come to the conclusion that cats will byte out of affection.

I was laying down, and rubbing Ruprechts neck, and outlining his shoulders
with my fingertips, you know...he was drueling...lol...

While I was continuing the same general non-chalant affection, around
hisneck and shoulders...
he bit me real hard and wouldnt turn loose. I said...woah..he looked at me
with my hand in his mouth.

He finally let up...but I believe with all my heart, this was his way of
affecting me, in his own way.

A woman told the same story, she said, her cat would bite her but only after
she stirred him up through affection...(that cat bit the face, so, he needed
some training)...however, this is not a sign of agression from the cat.

My hand was bleeding...I smeared the blood across my palm, and offered it to
Ruprecht, he came over and smelled the blood..I said...quietly...Ow, ow, I
didnt' want to send the message "no", I felt like this would tell him do not
show your affection, rather, don't bite me so hard I bleed please.

Our cat, Tribbles, would bite us very gently on the nose if we didn't
get up when she thought we should. It was so cute!

My Pickles will give a little bite while kissing your hand and then go right
back to kissing. It's definitely love and she never breaks the skin while
doing it. She will also sometimes reach up and very gently touch my face
with her paw. It's really very touching.

Of course I don't look busy,
I did it right the first time.

Ruprecht definitely loves you, lol!! I have never had a cat drool when I
pet, I guess I am not droolworthy!

This is the way to do it. Many people here with lots of experience
recommend the "Ow!" way of letting them know that we don't
like hard biting. You had better clean that bite well or you could
wind up in the hospital. Hot, hot water, and squeeze as much blood
out as you can, then a good antiseptic--peroxide has its uses for bites
like this, then maybe alcohol. Cats mouths are very dirty.

My kitten must be full of affection for my toes.

Cheeky does this to my hand when I am on the phone. Just the tiniest
nibbles with her teeny front teeth.

your kitten sees them as 10 teething bulbs...just the right size.

Yeah, my bite turned red around the holes, with a tad of swelling, so I
feathered the skin back from around the puncture, making it bigger, but now
all open, and put some alcohol on it. Last bite was sore for days, and it
was very tiny.

pet, I guess I am not droolworthy!

lol, he wasn't really drooling, but ogling, now I know your cats ogle over
you, rubber snakes praise and all..

funny thing, since I let him get by with that last night, I think we made a
connection.

Maybe cats do this to each other as a way of leaving an impression on the
other.

Sounds like foreplay .... and Ruprecht told you to fish or cut bait. LOL

That might be the best interpretation yet
