Adorably pissed.

demiurgentSo I’m petting the cat. She’s sitting on the back of the couch. And she reaches the point of having had ‘enough petting.’
She demonstrates this by suddenly ducking her head under my hand, rearing slightly back, and opening her mouth. She then very slowly, very carefully places her mouth around my hand, so that I feel there are teeth on my hand. She sits there for a moment, then lets go and sits back up. It’s certainly not painful. It hardly counts as ‘biting.’
She is saying ‘remember. I have teeth, and your hand is fleshy and weak. Desist.’
Failure to desist results in her doing it again. However, this time she touches teeth, pauses, applies a slight amount of pressure, and releases. As if to say ‘I mean it, soft boy.’
Failure to desist a third time (if you can’t be a bastard petting your cat, when can you be a bastard?) causes her to slowly back up out of reach. Literally while still sitting. Her whole body ripples, her tail thrashes at full ‘pissed’ alert, and she shuffles backwards until I can’t reach her.
She’s so cute when she’s furious.
