Here is artwork from Constance that she did on my cat Chico when I first got him over 5 months ago. Today he rarely gives me "love bites." I think it was just a kitty thing that he was doing when I first got him! it really had me worried, but he has learned not to do it any more!

May be an image of Persian cat

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! Nov 5, 2022 For Tania Kitchin's A Funny Limerick - Make Me Laugh Poetry Contest

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.

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.

Love this, Andrea. Even loving cats don’t seem to comprehend that humans aren’t meant to drip blood. Congrats on your win. Terry

Quaint and home centric, relaxing write well I think so anyway, Constances art is smooth Here, I reckon you'll need to cut her in on the Prizemoney with this.'

Both the poet and the artist have done a wonderful job. I envision your naughty Kitty biting you, Andrea.... :)

An amusing Limerick Andrea, I hope your kitty’s teeth aren’t too sharp. Love the picture that Constance did for you, what a wonderful talent she has… Belle

Great Limerick, Andrea. Your cats are fun, although probably this was not fun.

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!!

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.

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.

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!

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
