its funny, but if you are getting bit by cats and you dont work in a shelter, its you.
I don't work in a shelter, but I do a lot of volunteering with a foster-based rescue & TNR organization. Do I get a pass?
absolutely! ty for your service!!!
Yes
if you have cats and they aren't biting you they don't love you.
my cat is literally sitting on me as i type this...
are you serious? how do people not get cats. what?
Anyways this has been shitass rambles out back the ymca
Do you see the smug look on this culera's face? It's because she's about to go from lovey lap kitty to pointy arm nuisance about a minute after this photo is taken. She had started farting and got this smug look on her face and my wife was out of the house and would not believe me how smug she looked sitting on my lap farting on me. She kept farting for like five minutes but two minutes into it and a minute after this photo she must have passed a hot chip or something because she decided to take out her rage on my arm. Hell knows there have been some hot ass farts I've wished I could take it out on my parents so I'm glad I could be there for my kitty but not only ow my arm, ow my nose I need to talk to my wife about her diet. That's why I say if your cats love you they bite you, because you are their for their emotions like hot ass farts.
thanks for the read. obvious upvote
I had a cat that did that. It was less of a bite and more of holding me with his teeth. He was always very happy and purring when he did it. It's definitely not universal behavior, though.
how sure are you on that claim it's not universal? It's common enough to have a name
I think that one is for when humans bite cats
yeah thats just a sign of love and affection. holding isnt biting at all, and i bet it was cute as hell :)
