Why is my cat biting me at these times?

Question

My cat seems to like biting me at bedtime and he bites hard. He has this telephone stand that he lies on beside my bed and he comes there when it is time to go to bed. I pet him for a bit and get sleepy while he purrs. When I start to fall asleep, I turn over on my tummy and put my hands under the pillow. That is when he bites me. Is he just mad that I have stopped petting him?

Also, when I pet him sometimes, he will start l*****g my hand. When I want to take my hand away, he will start gently biting me and pulling my hand back with his claws. He could have washed half my hand and will still do it. Is he just not done and doesn't want me to leave?

Answer 1

He simply wants you to play with him. He wants the attention. Just have to play with him until he wants to stop.  

Answer 2

Cats are strange like that.

I have one that, when you scratch the base of her tail, she starts nipping and l*****g you like she's getting fleas off of you.

I have another that will bite and paw at me if I stop petting him before he's done being petted.

Another of my cats knows her name and bounds very happily towards me when I call her. She's a Japanese Bobtail - she's adorable.

One of my cats (who claims me as her human) knows when I'm about to go to bed and runs to my door. She stays in my bed all night, and then scratches to get out at 6:00 in the morning on weekdays(really annoying during breaks from school) and around 6:30 or 7:00 on weekends...

But if you lightly bop him on the head or flick his ear (the way cats punish each other, btw) when he bites you, he should eventually get the message.

Answer 5

l*****g and bitting for no reason means he wants attention and play with u. to prevent him from wanting to play with u at bedtime, u can feed him right before u go to bed. because cats get sleepy after they eat.and hopefully, he won't bug u.

Answer 6

He wants you to clean him back- this is how cats socialize and show one another care, affection and acceptance- I have a male cat that does this- he will l**k my hand and then want to be "groomed" so to speak- it took me along to figure out what it was too -

Do as it demands or you will be in big trouble.
