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 :)
