I am starting to think maybe it is a Maine Coon "thing". I have another Maine Coon mix ... Dexter ... and he play bites as well.... he never does it out of anger, but fun, and he is a bit too strong-jawed at times!!! Dexter doesn't have an agressive bone in his big fluffy body, but I'm just wondering if Coons like to bite??? hahaha

Also, I fostered another Maine Coon mix for a few month a while ago ... and even though he wasn't declawed (neither is my Dexter) he too liked to bite ... but Alex (foster) would bite when ticked off!!! Hmmmmm ........ is there a pattern here?

Oh well... nothing will turn me away from maine Coons ... they are my favorites!!!!
