My husband and I brought home our first cat in December. She is now almost 7 months and everything seems to be going great except one thing.
When we are giving her attention she will sometimes jump up pretty quick (she is usually laying on her side) and will give up a quick nip/bite. She has NEVER drawn blood, but is this normal? She also likes to bat at our hand and then will do the same thing after playing for a minute or so. She will be purring when she jumps up from getting attention, and after she had tried to nip/bite her ears will go flat(for a very short time) and she will lay back down and start purring again.
We have never owned and cat --- only dogs and reptiles. So, we aren't sure if this is a 'playful' way of her showing us love or if it is something we need to start correcting her for.
Thanks in advance!
