When I fed Shadow this morning he seemed even more friendly, I stroked him
quite a lot but when I forgot myself and tried to tickle him under his chin
he bit me. I expect he thought I was going to try and catch him, the only
time he bit me before is when I tried to put him in a carrier to take him to
be neutered. That was last April and he bit down to the bone. I got a course
of antibiotics then but this time is not so bad. I should have borrowed a
trap from the vet then like I did in May. With patience I'm sure he'll be
less scared.

I really hope he will relax with you soon. Purrs for the bite to heal.
The headbutting was so sweet, but he still has to show you he's his own cat.

OW! You still seem to be on the right track. Pop those anti-biotics, and
healing purrs.

Well, maybe he thought that his dignity would be hurt by letting
himself getting tickled like a baby-cat.<g> So he showed you that he
wants to be treated with !greatest respect!.
Behaves like a king cat.
Hope the wound will heal fast.

He may have thought I was going to pick him up or maybe he got over
stimulated. I just forgot for a moment which cat I was stroking.
My finger is fine today.
