tbh a big part of me learning Cat Behaviour™ was watching close cat friends interact. like, Pangur and Grim absolutely ADORE each other, could not be better buds. they also hiss at, swat at, and bite one another – usually in fits of temper, when boundaries are crossed (e.g. when Pangur won’t stop lick-biting Grim’s ear), or just when they’ve been cuddling too long and suddenly feel overstimulated.
tl;dr there’s NOTHING wrong with your cat hissing, or lightly biting your skin. it’s literally just momentary communication.
“If you played Pokémon video games
extensively as a kid, there’s a good chance that a specific region of
your brain gets fired up when you see the characters now. In a recent study, researchers from Stanford University showed test subjects hundreds of Pokémon characters. As you might expect, the brains of longtime Pokémon
fans responded more than those unfamiliar with the game. But what’s
more surprising is that, in all of the fans, a specific brain fold
responded, an area just behind the ears, called the occipitotemporal
sulcus.“
