Lots of love, much nom nom. My cat insists it's a love language. I've drawn the line at drawing blood. A normal, healthy relationship with a pet.

I feel like most people would also bite far more if they didn't have opposable thumbs and were walking on all four extremities.

We often forget: for most animals, their mouth fulfills the same function as our hand.

Or you know if my friends didn't complain whenever I offer to bite them...

He wouldn't do that if you were not wearing socks with slides. He's trying to help you before you end up with a mullet.

Fun fact: they start with your nose and earlobes!

Is that why they bite me in the nose when I'm sleeping? They're not trying to wake me up, they think I'm dead?!

Just getting a little taster nibble to see what kitty wants to start with❤️
