Love bites and love kicks
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? Kristi |

She'll kick you with her hind feet when you rub her belly (no claws) and occaisonally nip your hand. This is usually followed by a lick, "Oh, I didn't really mean to do that". Then she'll do it all over again Smokey's the grabby one. Any time you pet her she'll wrap her paws around your hand and try to lick you to death. I suspect her mother had to hold her down to wash her, so she is doing the same. Kristi |

Anyone else have kitties that give love bites and kicks?
Kristi Yep. My normally sedate (sedantary, even) Amelia. If I pet her tummy when she's feeling at all playful I can count on having her grab my hand with her front paws, bite me (gently), and bunny-kick me. |

Both LB and Sammy will sometimes when getting belly rubs and they want to play. From your description Imp sounded a little like Sammy when she's nervous and just wants some hooman contact, but no scritches or loving. When there's a storm, she usually heads to the bedroom and crawl under the covers. If I go in and lay down on the bed to keep her company, and she'll wrap her paws around my arm. She's not interested in petting, though, and if I do more than briefly rub her head she moves down to my ankles. I figure she feels safer with the contact, but wants to be able to keep her attention on the storm. -- Steve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Rocky [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html |
