They bite when they like something, they bite when they don’t like something.
Thanks for clearing that up.

I tend to just blow air in their face if the bite hurts, a lightly annoying response to a lightly annoying action, no harm no foul

[brubber]

my cat does the opposite. he bites then licks me as if hes apologizing

[TheFluffyDuck]

When I am playing with my kitten she bites, then Immediately licks the spot. Like she is apologising telling me it’s a play bite.

[GertBFrobe]

They're figuring out how many licks it takes to get to the center.

In an alternate universe
Cats : Why does my human pet me and then kiss me?

[blairansellfraser]

“We’ll explain exactly why this behavior occurs”. 30 seconds later: “there is no single way to explain this behavior”....

One of my cats bites my hair! It's her way of grooming me. Once she lost her way and went missing during a snowy winter time for months. When we found her back, at first I wasn't a 100% sure it was her, since she wasn't responding to us. But when I lifted her up, she started biting my hair and I knew it was her. She stayed in the kitchen near the central heater and near her food for two weeks straight. Poor thing. Only slowly did she become her old, happy self again. Was a traumatic experience for her, obviously. At this moment she's cuddled up right next to me. How I love her!

Friend - "Awe she's kissing you. How sweet."

Me - "No, she's just tenderizing."

I don't know what I'm doing here, , I don't even have a cat 😑

[NuKeRGG]

I have a pet tiger, he also bites me to show affection.. he already ate one of my fingers, and my entire foot once, but I still love him, he then licks me to apologize.. His play bites are really strong.. but I know it's all love!... I know he didn't eat my sister on purpose

[elvishprincess]

My cat purrs when he play bites me and it comes out like a silly snort.

[CarmelFan]

I have fostered cats for years and if a cat bites, I let out a loud squeal. It’s enough to teach them.

[oliviav.]

There's play biting, and there's "leave me the hell alone" biting. 😸

[urmother]

Bruh when my cat is licking my hand and I start to pull my hand away it reaches its paw out to grab my hand because he doesn’t want me to go away.

[biancahogervorst]

They don"t bite hard, i call them love bites, they love you so much they wanne eat you up

[grantbishop]

If a cat is purring and then looks into your eyes and performs a lite bite, its a sign of Great Trust and Love.
You should be honored, your cat has initiated you into their pride.

[laikathunderchild]

We call it her “love bites”
In that she loves to bite us lol .Then give a good licking to kiss better. Then bite again...

This video: "It can mean anything, it depends on the situation and the cat and the phase of the moon."
Also this video: "Now you know why cats do that."
Me: "No. No I do not. This did not explain anything."

a proud kitten owner wears their bites and scratches with honor and loving amusement 😸😸😸😸😸
