Teeth rubbing.

[Sean]

Hi
One of my boys. His name is Tetsu. Will walk in before I take a shower and rub his teeth
on my legs. The first time he did that I thought I was going to get bit. He is now about 18Mo old
and is still doing that most of the time. His brother Mokkun does not do that at all.

Sounds like an affectionate type of move Sean. or perhaps some kind of marking behavior.

Kovu waits until AFTER my shower to do it. Like "Hey Ma, you washed my scent off, whats up with that?!"

I was reading this thread for the first time just now and Sabrina decided that it was a good time to come up and attack my hand full on. I thought I'd see what she'd do if I messed with her teeth. Boy, she just didn't know what to do about that! It made her purr. And now she's laying on my lap taking a bath. That was awesome.

Well actually Kronos does this too! I just thought it was the aftermath of him going crazy with rubbing my hands with head butts, but now that I think about it I always end up somehow touching his teeth when he comes up for a good ol' head butt session.

This sounds like my Sirius. When he is done he loves to bury his face in my hand. I sometimes have to pull my hand back a little because he pushes so hard I don't want to suffocate him.. He Loves it tho.

Tiger will rub my feet and hand with his mouth open with his teeth and lick them. I was worried at first that he might clamp down but no he just shows his love that way.
