Loud purring, arched back => lots of bites. Mild purring, no arching => soft to no bites. It's interesting to note, though, that this is personal behavior. She's the only one who behaves that way. Her sister doesn't bite to give affection (she licks instead). I've seen the sisters give each other affection. A bites B, but B licks A. To each their own :) | |

I wonder if they nip mom as an expression of affection? All of the cases i have seen where cats nip their peers or siblings has been some form of aggression, or to convey “hey.. i don’t want you here right now.” Play fighting typically involves more than nip. | |
