love bites?

[TeresaK]

It sounds like Molly is really changing and becoming more confident with all the love you're giving her. She really landed on her feet when she came to live with you!!

It's a display of trust and affection--high praise indeed! Consider it a milestone to be treasured in your relationship with Molly. For the record Lighty does this with me as well. Of course she has these nine inch incisors and it does smart a bit. She occasionally gets a little too enthusiastic and I have to remind her--gently--to go easy on the dental lovin'.

Good to hear about Molly's improved loo habits. If I could only get that kind of percentage out of Snowman!

My Merlin gives me "love bites", too. When he was a kitten, he would sometimes bite down too hard (especially when he was overstimulated)...so I would say "ouch" and remove my hand quickly. He eventually learned how to bite softer and usually does follow it up with a few licks! It's interesting reading about everyone else's experiences with this behavior.
