Cat Bites Man

DianeP · 02-07-2010, 11:57 PM

The past two nites while we've been sitting and watching TV, Cicero has walked up and without preamble, bitten his daddy's ankle! He's never done this before. He has bitten our feet when we've had our shoes off -- he loves white sock clad feet, but never just out of the blue like that! I think my husband is going to have to start wearing brown socks.

That is very strange! Better keep a close eye on him (I know you already do) sometimes unusual behaviors can be an indication of illness.

I know it can be, though in this case I don't think so -- but of course I'll keep an eye on him. I think he just wants attention. He was just at the vet and had blood work which was all very normal.

How serious a bite was this? Wants attention or angry? BeBe will give me a very gentle bite if she has something to tell me.

Oh, it's just a playful nip -- It's so funny, though, because it's so unexpected and DH jumps! I'm sure it's because Cicero wants something, if you only knew what.

Hungry? Maybe watching too many of those animal planet predator shows.

Could be -- maybe we need to restrict his TV privileges.
