I know this is surely a case of over-stimulation but it still hurts my feelings a bit when he does this. This morning I am laying in bed, he jumps up and lays on me. Purring, purring, petting, etc... He is sprawled out on his side so my hand is coming toward his face to pet his head and cheeks (it did cross my mind that this probably wasn't wise). Anyhow, after about five minutes -- BITE! I immediately fold my hands under my neck and don't look at him. He is still laying on me... reaches over and bites me again! Mind you, these are not hard bites but I still don't like it! So, I still ignore him and he slides off of me and tries again to bite me -- now I blow air at him and he goes away.
It just kills me that a cat can be purring like mad and bite you the next second. I also think it is kind of nervy of him -- get off me if you don't want me touching you then -- but no, he sits there and stares at me.
Anyhow, just a vent -- no one is injured and he has certainly forgotten all about it. This has only happened maybe 3 times since I got him 5 months ago .
