All my outside kitties, when I sit out and give them attention they bite me. Not mean, doesn't hurt really, but Gus, Hef and Wil lay on their side, grab my hand and bite it. They've done it a few other times, but now they do it every time I pet them. I guess maybe they're playing.

Love and play. In my personal experience, cats give several different kinds of "bites". Love, play (they do that with each other, too), leave-me-alone and fear/aggression.

Someone with more experience --- feel free to elaborate, debunk, etc.
