Not to my knowledge.
She was a rescue cat from the CP.
When i first got her she never liked you putting your hand in front of her face. That made me think that she may of been hit as a kitten

Maybe it's as simple as that ??

My brother in-law took on a rescue collie ( which was absolutely petrified of Men ) it took a very long time for Her to gain the trust
She was also a nervous wreck if any large cardboard box appeared or even being in a confined space

Dreamies sound the best way forward, She can't bite while eating  ;)

  Did something drastic happen 3 years ago for her to start doing this to you?

She might want some Dreamies to nibble on  ;)

Not come across this one - maybe she wants more attention?  Did something drastic happen 3 years ago for her to start doing this to you?

Good luck.

When you say nibbles, do you mean biting or sucking?

Its more of a bite really

Hi Emma, hmmm what are you doing at the time Stella does the Nibbling ??  :sneaky:



Im just sitting on the sofa. She comes over and starts to rub her face on me then nibbles at anything she can grab. I make a fuss of her but she continues to do it.
Sometimes if i move she gets that look on her face as if she's really going to attack. She has attacked me only once. When she does it i just move away

Misty used to do that if I was stroking him, and HE decided He'd had enough, it would start out
with a gentle swipe, then maybe a gentle nibble till I stopped

But Boy, If I didn't stop  :naughty: ( You could see this Mad / wild expression come over his face )
It was then that He would get really rough and Lash out  :rofl:

so if it is that, I can only say to always Remember to stop when Stella tell's you, Don't forget..... " SHE is Your Master "  :evillaugh:

Nibbling
« Reply #1 on: October 29, 2011, 22:54:58 PM »
Hi,
I wonder if you could give me some advice. For the last 3 years my cat Stella has started to nibble at me. I wouldn't say biting but she pats me then nibbles at me. Sometimes she nibbles hard and on a couple of occasions she has gone for me.
I dont know why she does this.  :(
Is she asking for something? But when i give her attention she still does it 

Thanks
Emma
