He wasn't biting, he was doing that thing where they kind of gnaw down to the undercoat - except I haven't got an undercoat! Have to admit his claws could do with a bit of a trim, will wait til he falls asleep then get him with the claw clippers
I think we can safely say he likes the smell of Herbal Essences though
Maybe I should smother my head in cat nip and see what he does then
