@negatendo but sometimes when she does this she also presses her paws against my throat and flexes her claws against it. I think it's a threat. She just tried to stop me from typing to you just now because she knows what I'm thinking and that I'm consulting others about my fear.
I had a siamese that was very snuggly sort of like that. when she was the most content she would very lightly, but very deliberately, lay her teeth on my juggler. I have been told that it's a trust thing; she is showing that she could hurt you but doesn't, and you don't run screaming so she knows you trust her.
His claws poke holes in t-shirts.
I presume Gremlin will be less needy as she gets comfortable in her forever home.
