We have recently adopted a 4 year old male from CP. He was very shy at first and it ook him a few weeks until he could relax properly, sleep on beds etc. He still gets frightened very easily and jumps at unusual noises.
He is an indoor cat so far, but a proper hunter. He reall enjoys playing with his toy wand and hids in tunnels. He usually waits for us by the stairs and takes us to the room to play. He is super cute.
.
But for the past 3 days he is been doing something that I cannot understand - he contantly wants to sniff my fingers/hands and lick them. He then starts biting then. At first it is very gentle bites (love bites?) but that quickly turns into more vicious biting, trying to get my arm.
He sleeps on my side of the bed, usualy at my feet but also at some point in the night he likes to get closer, purring and kneading. Last night, he was doing this so I started stroking his head. He licked my hand and as soon as I moved away he bit me and scratched me quite hard. He then sat there staring at me in the dark, waiting until he attached again and jumped on my back. I was actually quite scared :-(
I really do not understand what is going on
At first I thought the licking/biting was just play fight but after last night's episode I am not sure!.
Can anyone enlighten me please?
Should I worry?!
