If we tried that with Snowball, we'd more than likely get part of our lips
chewed off, as well as our gumline.  When Snowball would bite my husband on
the nose, she'd always draw blood, and it got to the point that they would
just stare at each other after it happened.  Both of them with these little
squinty eyes, glaring is more like it.  He learned the hard way that while
they were staring at each other - DON'T HOLD HER TOO CLOSE TO YOUR FACE!
He'd try to stare her down and sometimes he'd hold her within nip reach and
she'd nail him again.  I just can't imaging wraping my lips around that
little mouth.
 
Weren't you worried about her biting you?
