Why does my cat try to get to my face when I feed her?

Some cats can be "love biters" in which they will gently nibble or chew on you without actually biting or acting in an aggressive manner (and it isn't aggression!) This can be a sign of affection in some cats, and it sounds like your cat may be trying to get your attention for more cuddles and pets! (My cat does this too, especially if I haven't been petting her enough or she wants to snuggle.) If, however, his ears are flat, body stiff, and he's trying to get away when biting, then that is a sign that he may be overstimulated and needs some time to himself.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is an attention seeking behavior. The best way to avoid this behavior is to discourage it by firmly saying no, and most importantly praise her when this behavior is not observed. For example, when she is begging you pet her, you firmly avoid doing it if you do not desire to do so. If there is any biting, you firmly say no. You then praise her when this behavior is not observed and pet her at those times. This is basically sending a message that you will pet her when you would like to do so. Consider using treats for rewarding her when a positive behavior is observed (such as not begging/biting). Good luck!

This is a form of affection that cats typically display. This is a common area for cats to be affectionate towards and there is nothing wrong with that unless it bothers you. If you want to stop this behavior, you will need to let Kirishima know that this is an undesired behavior by saying "off!" and rewarding him when he stops the behavior. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

That is normal behavior. I think she is happy to be with you and inside and is rubbing her face on you and the wall as a comfort expression. Most cats like to be rubbed on the face, around the ears and under the chin so try that when she comes in and she'll probably start purring.

Cici is beautiful! What a lovely looking girl. She is likely curious as to what you are up to do, what you are doing, and trying to get attention from you. My cats love to come and watch me when I'm in the bathroom! It's a little bit creepy lol.

It may just be that your cat enjoys your company and feels safe while he eats. If you don't want to be there, you can start feeding him and then taking a step back further away at each meal gradually until he is comfortable eating with you out of the room.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Welcome to having cats. They are a peculiar mix of curiosity and skittishness, and I find that even more true in kittenhood. Try just keeping your hand still next time. Let her lick/nibble as she likes without attempting to move or pet her. Eventually she will learn to fully trust you and will start rubbing her head on you. Then start very slowly (without moving th position of your hand) rubbing back and forth with just your fingers. Eventually she will be demanding petting! Best wishes to you and Alsa!
