Hi Marylin,
Thank you for giving us your time to ask questions! My F2 just turned one year old. We have a genuine love affair going between us!!! However, very often when I pet her she is so happy I think she doesn't know what to do and she nips and bites me. I know for sure she is not being mean, it is really an affectionite type of thing as she is purring and wants more of me. If I gently push her head aside as to not bite, she still wants more and bumps up against my hand. When I begin again petting her, she again begins bitting my hand. The bites are not hard, but they are bites. I have dubbed them her 'love bites'. Should I be stopping this? I kind of wish she would just let me pet her, but I attribute it to her being an F2???? She does it ALOT.
