Once in a while the cat will lie on the floor with her stomach up for me to caress. But after caressing her for maybe 15 seconds, she would always grab my hand with her paws and bite my hand lightly (but still hurt a little). On one occasion she managed to scratch my hand. Does anybody else have the same experience? Is it trying to tell me to get lost or is it playing? peter
