Cats can be wonderfully quirky, and sometimes their behavior includes unexpected bites. These bites can mean different things depending on the situation. Often, cats bite gently during play, especially when they’re overstimulated, and these playful nips,
aren’t usually aggressive. While they may hurt, they rarely break the skin. If your cat nibbles you, it could also be a sign of affection. Cats sometimes give soft, gentle bites when they’re purring or enjoying being petted. In these cases, it’s simply their way of showing they feel comfortable and appreciate your attention.
