Unsolicited Love Nibbles And Kitty Kisses

Ah, the feline’s version of mixed signals! One moment they’re generously doling out licks; the next, they’re giving you a playful chomp. So, what gives? Licking is often a sign of affection; it’s a kitty’s way of grooming and bonding with their beloved human. As for the nibbles, they can be love bites or a way to convey overstimulation.

Essentially, “I love you, but that’s enough petting for now!” Cats might also gently bite when feeling playful, a behavior that traces back to their predatory instincts. So, when your cat dishes out a combination of licks and nibbles, it’s all part of their complex love language.
