My little boy Kismet did this to Jewel when she was alive too, he would either nibble/bite her ear, and scruffing him doesn't a;ways help. Does anyone else have problems with this? He is now doing it to Charlie, and I know he is NOT happy about it. Any suggestions? Deb & The Terrible Two "Some say Vampyres are cruel, blood-sucking denizens of the night..... True!
