Lick, lick, lick, lick...bite.
My 2 yo coon cat has a tendancy to lick my hand several times and then
place his teeth on me as if he were going to bite me. He never leaves a mark, though. Is he just testing me or tasting me? It's kind of funny when he does it. It's like he can't resist the temptation to take a chomp, but just as the teeth make contact he realizes what he is doing, releases, and sometimes gives a few extra licks as if to say that he is sorry. |

That's what cats and kittens do to each other. I noticed it with my 2 year
old and 7 month old kitten. They lick each other and then bite, but don't hurt each other. Gail "sideshowhaas" wrote in message oups.com...

For what it's worth, I think that might be an expression of irritation or domination or playfulness. Something along those lines. |

Apparently some MC's are a bit schizo. Bubba will be relaxing and allowing me to pet him and he'll switch from purring to bunny-kicking and gently (usually) biting in a blink. He doesn't seem vicious or serious about taking a chunk out of me or anything but it was a bit surprising the first time. It can be disconcerting to have a large cat grab you with it's fangs. In Bubba's case, I think he's just playing in some strange cat mode and I just let him do what he wants unless he uses his claws in the bunny kick. Claude |

It's a love bite. |

Sammy is the only cat I have who does this (Bandit bites, but that's dead serious and she tries to crack the bone to suck out the marrow!). Sammy never bites hard and she seldom uses her claws (only when she gets too excited when playing and forgets). Normally she's very gentle - thank the gawds! -- Hugs, CatNipped See all my masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ Claude |

My 1 year old cat do exactly the same.
He bath me and then bite my hand in the same way, without hurting me and then lick one more time. It's so funny. I think it's just love. =^.^= |
