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.

Ya my cat bites occasionally as well,like out of the blue man. Not hard but I think it's an affectionate grooming type thing. Sometimes she chews my fingernails and thats what she does to hers ,and she always likes to lick me and she does that to herself as well. Don't worry about it pussy
Enjoy the love bites. My Dimitri comes up on my chest and gives kisses on my nose every so often he gives a little nip. Or when he is on his Back in my arm, as I rub his tummy he will nip my fingers. Lucky will grab my arm as I exit the shower and give a love bite.
Timmy gives my wife love bites, but at 19 lbs he dose not realize how strong he is and bites too hard some times.
So sit back and enjoy the love.

My boy, Jordan, only nips like that when he's wanting something, usually food. My other cat, Buzz, used to do it as well, and for the same reason.
Mind, they don't seem to have to be really hungry; the emphasis is definitely on "wants" food, not needs it.
My 7mth old kitten Michael not only "nips" at me but he also tries to comb my hair with his claws! Normally when I am sleeping. The problem I have with that is that my skin is really thin and cant handle it well. I just use "liquid bandage" or "new skin" (has antiseptic in it) on the small nicks and he hates the smell of it! That has slowed him down some.
Chelsea will gently nip at whatever exposed body part of mine she can find when she thinks I need to get out of bed and attend to her needs. Usually it means she wants her water freshened or that she can see the bottom of the food bowl, known here as "The Bottom of the Food Bowl Blues"....![]()

My Herky is a relentless biter and is probably the reason why he was dropped off at the Humane Society. He bites whenever he is near your face and it's a hard quick bite....and then he starts to purr, lol! Night time is especially difficult with him because he'll lay right above my head and zoom into my face as close as he can without disturbing me and then bites. And this goes on for hours and usually ends up with me putting him out of the bedroom. It had gotten to the point that I couldn't pick him up or have him on my lap because of the constant biting which drew blood 75% of the time. I've had to really work with him on when it's okay to bite and when it's not and he's getting a little better. I dont mind the occasional little love bite, but I do mind when it becomes a demanding and obsessive behavior problem like that.
