Yep, things are changing around here

Max back in 2016, he was feeling so good. I took this shot with my digital Nikon.

I am just as pleezed as punch. This morning I saw Max and Ally touching noses, now I will have to keep my camera handier in hopes I can catch them in the act. As for his lil buddy Meetzee, well that lil dip decided to bite me the day before yesterday but not hard enough to break the skin .... it ticked me off though, I just don't get why cats sometime bite people. None of my cats have ever bitten me before. Isn't Max a cutie pie?

Aww, thanks. I have no clue why Meetzee bites but at least she doesn't bite hard enough to break the skin.

I agree @just4him if she ever bites hard enough to break the skin then I'll have to consider finding her another place to live, I don't tolerate that kind of thing.

Glad Max is favoring Ally now. Cats have such an independent way of thinking. They are not like dogs, a dog shows what they are thinking but cats just have that natural standoffish attitude from jump street so when they all of a sudden get fiesty it's hard to tell its coming and why.

Been there done that @Shellyann36 I've raised 5 so far, most lived long lives and mellowed as they got older. I never saw these 2 that mom raised that much when they were kittens and when they got old they were mellow around her, of course both were indoor/outdoor cats and I really didn't interact much with them.

So true. I have to admit I prefer dogs but I like cats and have always had at least one. I've been lucky that mostly I have had fairly cool cats like Prissy or Spunky but this last bunch is really trying my patience. Well, all my kritters are either middle aged or very old so things will eventually calm down.

Max is a sweetie. Fred over here at times thinks he is rough-tough and continues to bite. Right now he is a purr machine.

Well at least he still has an excuse, he's still a baby. Meetzee is at least 12 or older, what's hers? I wonder if she ever bit mom.

When she bit me I stomped my feet and told her to get away from me so these last 2 days she's been all lovey dovey @sallypup the sneaky lil dickens.

@rebelann Saia will never totally be a sane or tame kitty so I know a little of what you go through with Meetzee.

Max is a real cutie and I'm hoping you get a photo of him and Ally touching noses for us. Doodles only bites when he wants peace and quiet. He gives us a warning by thumping his tail or putting his ears back, so we back off. Took my husband a bit longer to learn the signs. LOL!

Thanks for that advice @DianneN but I haven't put my face close to any other cat since Prissy, I don't like cat hair in my eyes or mouth.

I find it offensive for a pet to bite without cause @RubyHawk she simply came up to me and bit me on the lower thumb part of my palm for no reason.

@rebelann Maybe they get depressed or just not feeling well and feel like biting someone. Maybe she was just letting off steam.

Sure is. The cat at my parents place had two kittens recently...They are not exactly pets but generations of them are always around..Some like to be in but most of them stay outside. Anyway the mother took away the kittens ,apparently they keep changing the places...Then came back with only one...We put it inside in a box and just in two days kitty has started to explore

@rebelann the kittens will grow to be a cat...They have always stayed in and around. Sometimes somebody wants them and takes them.,otherwise they are good company for my parents Tom cats usually move away but they come during lunch and dinner

I know dogs bite. But not much of a cat. I am beginning to like cats. I think they are sweet if they want to. But I still cannot have them though.

I have never been bitten by my dogs, in fact none of my pets bit me until this cat that once belonged to Mom.

One of our cats is quite vicious when she wants to be. She is quite moody. My fathers cat she used to nudge your hand to stroke her but once she had enough she used to sink her fangs right into you and draw blood.

I don't think I would tolerate a cat that bit me that hard, Meetzee hasn't drawn blood and if she ever does she's outta here, I won't put up with either cat or dog biting me.

@rebelann My Sophie is a biter so I can have to carry a water bottle around with me at home to squirt her if she bites or if I catch her before she is going to do it.

@rebelann Sophie did not learn manners. She was left to die when she was two days old. I could not get much information out of the lady that I got her from. She did not tell me she bites or grabs. I carry a water bottle to let her know not nice to bite and try and catch her before she does it. Sometimes she sneaks attack me. She wanted to bite me today but I squirted her.

Oh my it is cute. What color is her eyes? It looked like the cat on my wall painting.

Max is adorable. As to why some cats bite people? A mystery as well. Cats are just creatures all of their own accord. Unlike dogs in so many ways. But they can still make great pets.

Meetzee is a girl, a calico and has the audacity to attack dogs no matter their size but I never expected her to bite me. I've only had 2 boys, Stanley and Spunky and neither of them ever bit me.
