CK2 Sep 2023 9:30pm, 25 Sep 2023 2,280 posts	0 CK2 Do any of your cats bite when they’re being stroked and seem happy and purring. Our cat gives the odd “love bite” - a gentle nibble. However my mum’s cat is more aggressive and seems to get a bit over excited!

I think that maybe she wasn't socialised properly by whoever had her first. Even after being here for over 5 years she hasn't really mellowed.

ndellar Sep 2023 10:01pm, 25 Sep 2023 4,102 posts	0 ndellar Yes - we got told by the fosterer before we got our two that Mabel has a tendency to get over stimulated. She’s very affectionate and purry, and on occasions turns somewhat bitey, and it’s not a nibble! She really idolises my husband and strangely she only turns on him not me. If she really meant it she’d draw blood, and she’s not done that. She’s 11, and a happy and healthy cat. He just retreats contact until she’s calmed down, which is usually less than a minute.
