I just got a new cat from a shelter. He is 2 yrs old and the friendliest cat I have ever met. He is so sweet, purrs all the time, plays, follows me around, etc. He loves to sit on my lap, face me and nuzzle my neck and jaw.
About a week ago he was nuzzling me and then bit the underside of my jaw pretty hard. Immediately after that he jumped off my lap and ran out of the room. The bite left four lines that looked like scratches.
Then just now he was nuzzling me and bit my chin but did not run off. I wonder if this is aggression or love bites.
Like I said he is really a lover, I don't think he is a mean cat but I don't understand why he bites me.
