I had a cat that did that. It was less of a bite and more of holding me with his teeth. He was always very happy and purring when he did it. It's definitely not universal behavior, though.
yeah thats just a sign of love and affection. holding isnt biting at all, and i bet it was cute as hell :)
how sure are you on that claim it's not universal? It's common enough to have a name
I think that one is for when humans bite cats
