Kittens chewing on you (typical on the ear) is a sign they were weaned or separated too early from momma cat. Its also a sign they've adopted you as a parent
well it hurts and he wont stop even when i flick his ear
Also i learned about a new animal today. Apparently there is such a thing as a peanut butter jellyfish
what about a jam jellyfish
@Goose there are a couple ways to shape the behavior away from this. Keep a favorite toy or treat handy to take their attention away from the chewinh
I dont condone the way I stopped my cat from doing such. I react violently to being awoken suddenly by unexpected things from a dead sleep. Im glad my cat didn't wind up hurt, but she never chewed on my ear again....
well mine is chewing on my feet when i play games
Its an unfortunate reflex I have from prior life experiences
Chewing is normal in play,
i let him nibble my fingers, is that good?
Same reason as chewing on your ear
Google is your friend, there are several pet friendly ways ways to train him away from chewing on you
Or licking an area until its raw
Use catnip toy to distract him from the behavior when he does such is one
Its a sign of affection
Especially if he doesn't draw blood
Usually it means, "i could bite you, but your my friend, so im not"
Or is a suckling like behavior calling you "mom"
> Usually it means, "i could bite you, but your my friend, so im not"
This is usually when the cat bump or rubs their teeth against you

This is the chewing behavior, typically on the ear
so hes not just trying to mess me up
No, not unless he draws blood
But rubbing or scratches from teeth can be a warning as he gets older to stop as he is becoming agitated with your present actions
alright thanks

Learned about two new animals today
Even if one may be a joke posted to the internet
