Hi everyone,
I'm writing because I'd like to understand why my cat is doing this. Let me explain:
I've got two cats, a male and a female, who've grown up together since they were three months old (they're one now). Everything is usually fine—they play together, sleep together, and so on...
But for quite a while now, the female has been spending ages grooming the male and nibbling him. At first, he doesn't mind, but when it starts going on for too long, he gets fed up and lets her know by biting her. He won't let go though, and I have to step in and separate them, otherwise he just keeps his teeth clamped onto her. Then, she just starts grooming him all over again until he's had enough once more.
Even when he's just off in his own little world playing or whatever, she'll come over, give him a few licks, and then head off again.
On the other hand, whenever he tries to groom her, 'her ladyship' isn't having any of it and attacks him.
Is this normal cat behaviour?
If anyone knows why she might be doing this, I'd love to hear your thoughts! 😁
