Title: Shes a biter!!
Post by: Queen-Penguin on August 25, 2007, 21:20:45 PM

Hi all

Menue has started biting me and not in a playful way. I mean really latching on! It normally happens when I am stroking her or she is just sat on my knee, she will turn and bite me!! She'll turn quickly with ears pinned back.

Am I just annoying her do you think? She does playfully nip sometimes when I am playing with her and her toys! That doesn't hurt. But this does!!

I think she is giving you a message, maybe for the second time cos you didnt notice the first one.....................stop stroking me now!

Sometimes they just dont feeli like being stroked and toucheed after a certain point but its had knowing when that point is.

My hands and the marks on them atest to the fact that Lexy loves her cuddles but sometimes enough is enough.. and she will swipe and bite.. if she can catch me. When she does that I just ignore her and leave her alone. She gets the point and she also knows I got the message.

If it happens in a certain area she was fine with before it could mean she has pain in that place.

Did you ever get her lady probs sorted or is she still calling?
