If you smack a cat for any reason, the only thing they will learn is that you are mean. Our cat will bite me after a scratch session, but never bites the wife. Is this a girlie to girlie thing?
I had a kitty who would do just exactly that. If you petted him more than 4 times he would growl and if you kept it up he would bite you. Not hard tho. His name was Meanie. They get over stimulated and that’s the only way to tell you to stop because it isn’t pleasurable any more.
Maggie Mae will nip my ankles at the most inopportune time….Carmine thinks my desk is his lair, and will insist on being between me and the monitor and keyboard.

Why doesn’t Business Cat have fur on his body? The cat head stuck on the human looking torso is kind of creepy really.

I won’t complain about mine again. She only mimics the bite/scratch.I never tried to see how far I could go before a real bite.
