My cat, one that I adopted last summer, is a bit of a biter. She came to the shelter as a stray, so I don't know her history. I suspect there are various things happening with her. One is that her first human family may have let her do that. Another is that she will sometimes suddenly decide she doesn't want to be touched.

Nonetheless, she's a sweet cat most of the time.
