Why does she bite me?

[JuniorxMyxLove]

Lexi's a weird little cat. When she gets really cuddly, she bites. Only my mom and I, though. Granted, we're the only two people she's comfortable enough with to cuddle, haha.

Anyways...it's bizarre. She'll be sitting on my lap being pet and out of nowhere, she'll bite my arm or my chin or something. It's not hard and she's not upset/wanting to be let go or anything...it's just weird. If I reprimand her she'll stop for a while, but as soon as she gets comfortable again, she bites! Like, right now she has a hold of my right forearm, haha. She just kinda bit down and now she's just chilling like that. She also licks me, lol. I've woken up a few times to her licking my face.

Why?

Because a) she's a cat and b) you're there!

She just loves you to pieces and is really comfy with you- like a sibling or mother or someone very close- and when she gets really happy and a bit carried away, she bites! Several of mine will do that- purring a mile a minute, all the while-- and NEVER a hard bite, just a little chomp in a playful way-- she's just very fond of you and very comfortable with you- be flattered! (Unless you're spending too much on band-aids, then I'd try and discourage her a bit when she does it.)

Our Boo was kinda like that. Sometimes cats get over stimulated, and will bite. Look for the ears to go FLAT and the pupils to dilate.....

When she's on you lap, you may be breathing through you nose, and the "breeze" can irritate some cats. I had a Siamese who did the same until I realized that I was teasin' him by breathing on him.

Some cats bite to show their love for you. Its not a hard bite, just a nip to show that they love you. Mine does this especailly Peaches and Ashes. They nip then lick.
