So what does it mean when a cat suddenly reaches out and grabs you by the wrist , either with her paws or her TEETH, when you’re petting her, and she seems to be enjoying it (eyes closed, purring)? I don’t know if she’s playing, or she suddenly feels threatened by me and is lashing out, or if it’s aggression , or what: All I know is, it’s startling, unpleasant, and makes me feel like I’m living in a house with a tiny, rabid Bengal tiger. :-( Anyone else experience this, and how did you stop it (if you did )?

I always thought that meant, "OK, I'm done being petted for now."
