My Feline Friend Bites me
March 30th 2008 21:00
Over the weekend I spotted my feline friend. As usual, he miaowed when he saw me. I love that as it’s like he’s saying hello to me. He lay on his back and rolled his head right back towards the ground, all the time miaowing at me. I wasn’t sure what he wanted so I started stroking him. I stroked his head and when I moved to stroke the front of his neck, he kept pulling his head back so I took it I was giving him what he wanted. He looked so happy lying on his back with his eyes closed and mouth slightly opened. Then all of a sudden, he hopped back up and tried to bite me. Shocked, I instantly pulled my hand away. He kept miaowing at me and went back to lying on his back. I went back to stroking his neck and the sides of his face as it crossed my mind that maybe, as my cat-owner friend Andrea once said, the kitty actually wanted to nibble – not bite – me.
Today, I got the chance to find out. I was walking to work and saw a woman hanging around the stairs where my feline friend normally hangs out. She was bent over and it looked liked she was feeding an animal. By the time I got to the stairs she had gone but there was my kitty friend. I said, “Hello, friend” and he miaowed at me. I stroked his back and he rubbed his body along the steel fence that runs alongside the stairs. I was so busy playing with him I didn’t notice his teeth on my fingers until it was too late. In any case, all I got was a gentle nibble so maybe Andrea was right after all. I then stroked the side of his face and he gently rubbed his teeth against my finger.
