Cat Contradiction

There’s a kitty I have that is white.
When I pet him, he purrs with delight.
Then directly he goes
with his mouth to my nose
and with tiny sharp teeth gives a bite!

Susan Ashley Date: 11/30/2022 11:08:00 AM Oh what a bad kitty! I love your rhythmic limerick, Andrea, but not those tiny sharp teeth! Ouch!! Congratulations for your wonderful win in Tania's contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan Login to Reply

Nancy Kaufman Date: 11/17/2022 7:52:00 AM as a cat mom Andrea I have to weigh in on this cute one. Hopefully he was just testing his boundaries with you? Don't dare let him get away with it though...Cats have a lot of bacteria naturally in their mouths and a cat bite can easily cause an infection in a human. Login to Reply Andrea Dietrich Date: 11/17/2022 4:18:00 PM Like I told others, I have been smacking him on the head when he does it, and he is doing it less and less. I don't know what is wrong with that animal! Even the other one does it a little bit. But neither is super affectionate so I hardly get to experience the weirdness anyway. I love when my white cat snuggles with me, but he rarely comes to me any more. It just makes me sad.

Malabika Ray Choudhury Date: 11/5/2022 5:57:00 PM Great Limerick, Andrea. Your cats are fun, although probably this was not fun. Login to Reply Andrea Dietrich Date: 11/5/2022 7:23:00 PM yes, the first month I had Chico, it really concerned me. Now he has stopped doing it but Simba, the ginger cat, will try to bite once in a while!!

L Milton Hankins Date: 11/5/2022 4:36:00 PM Hmmm...you should have nipped that in the bud early on when he was just a kitten. If he knows it disturbs you, good luck. BofL in the contest. Login to Reply Andrea Dietrich Date: 11/5/2022 5:40:00 PM His cousin kitty is now becoming the biter!! he will sometimes try to bite my arm or something and they are STRONG bites, so I whack him too. he is over half a year old, so it's ridiculous. the internet says he is over stimulated from being petted, so I guess I can only pet that one for short intervals. how the heck did I get stuck with two such kitties? My granddaughter thinks that ginger cat is SO great. I am tempted to let her have him but my daughter's hubbie won't let Angie take in a third cat. Andrea Dietrich Date: 11/5/2022 5:37:00 PM Milt, I actually have nipped it in the bud! When he was a kitty, he did it a lot and I would whack him. I actually found out it was probably from him being weaned too early from his mom and I was his mother figure, so he was acting like a nursing kitty. I read that such kitties would try to bite close to one's mouth because that i s where they smell one's essence. Eventually he has stopped doing this maddening habit, but I thought it would make a good limerick!

Quoth Theraven Date: 11/5/2022 9:22:00 AM Andrea, What a witty kitty contradiction that 'purrs with delight'. You have to be on your toes when your cat's close to your nose. But their affection is priceless when earned. Much luck in the contest Andrea! -Richard Login to Reply
