Cat is hungry, biting food makes cat less hungry, perhaps biting other things will also make cat less hungry.

My cat: I'm sitting next to your sleeping head purring as loud as possible and even adding meow-like chirps into the melody. I'm pretty it is breakfast time.

Me: It's 12:30am.

My cat: Meow. Purr chirp purr chirp

Me: It's STILL 12:30am.

My cat: (Taps head gently but still manages to catch his claw on my scalp or eye lid)

Me: It's still 12:30am.

My cat: Oh... Biting means eating. I know what to do. (Gentle but painful chomps)

Me: (Caries cat out of room, closes the door.)

My cat: What was that all about? I'm hungry. Meow.

Do you cat people just get bitten all the time? Because my dog would never.

The gigantic tabby is absolutely convinced that not only will biting me get me to do something, but that it will convey what he wants done.

It ranges from petting to feeding to making the other cat not be in the cat bed he wants.

I have inadvertently and unfortunately trained my cat that if he makes bitey movements towards my computer monitor, I will immediately put kibble in his bowl.

His kill count for computer monitors is currently 2.
