I'm not food.
Dear Cat,
I would sincerely appreciate it if you would stop chomping (nipping) on my wrists and ankles.
I don't even touch you, and you come up on me, start snuggling, and then CHOMP. When I put you down or stand up, you then circle my ankles and then CHOMP.
I DO NOT APPRECIATE THESE CHOMPS.
I play with you about an hour a day, sometimes longer. I played with you for about two hours today and ensured you were properly entertained when I cooked for the potluck tomorrow, but tonight, even as I was holding you and using my computer, CHOMP.
ENOUGH ALREADY.
I have squirted you in the face, too, and I don't think you're making the correlation to stop with the chomping! As previously mentioned, I have also taken you off of me and just stood up when you have chomped, but alas, nothing!
I do not understand how I can redirect this play aggression because you get bored with any toy I put in front of you after literally five seconds.
You were not nipping me for the first week I had you. What happened? :(
Sincerely,
Your owner who still loves you but still thinks of you as a small asshole for all this nipping
(And seriously, I watched you mistakenly step in your poo while you were taking a dump, and saw you run around the apartment before I was absolutely horrified to see that you still had poo and litter on your foot and tried to wash it off, with failure, but finally got it sanitized off your foot with a wipe. UGH. AND I STILL LOVE YOU, SO CUT THAT SHIT OUT WITH THE NIPPING.)
