The Grooming Bites
Mutual Grooming
Cats often groom each other as a sign of affection, and sometimes this includes gentle nips. When they groom you, they might incorporate a few love bites, treating you as part of their feline family. This behavior is a compliment, indicating that they see you as a trusted companion deserving of their care and attention.
Grooming Demands
Your cat might also bite you to demand grooming. They expect you to return the favor, even if you don’t have a rough tongue. It’s their way of asking for some reciprocal attention. Providing regular grooming sessions can help strengthen your bond and keep their coats healthy and mat-free.
