Hi everyone!
We adopted / rescued a stray kitten last week, and he's about 4.5-4mo old. He is EXTREMELY affectionate, just the sweetest thing. He will seek me out and crawl onto my chest where he will go to sleep until I move, purring like crazy.
When he's doing this sometimes he will also try to nibble my neck/chin. Just his front teeth, and very gently. It doesn't bother me at all, I'm just wondering if it's ok to let him do this or should I discourage it? It's not continuous either. Just a few times. It seems like an affection thing to me, but I want to make sure!
He also doesn't really meow. He literally squeaks, and sounds like a mouse. Mostly when you're in the kitchen and he is hungry, or wants people food. Is it okay that he doesn't meow or could something be wrong with his throat? His breathing and everything else seems perfectly fine.
