This is a strange behavior that has been going on for quite some time now. Whenever my cat is really content, like he's being pet and whatnot, he would get right up to my face, and nibble at my chin, and if I let him keep doing it, he will actually bite down fairly hard. And it's not only on my chin either, it's really on any place that protrudes, may it be my nose, finger, etc., but the chin seems to be his favorite place. He is not AT ALL aggressive when this happens, and like I said, he only displays this behavior when he is content, and getting pet. It's not an aggravated action at all. The only solution I came up with is that it's kind of instinct from when he was nursing, because when he's this content, he's generally kneading, drooling, and all that cat stuff. Is this theory actually possible? Is he biting down because it's instinctive from his birth, just like kneading and drooling is? Or can it be something else? Tips and advice appreciated!
