when you´re petting your cat and she seems to like it then she bites you The general consensus on this problem is that the cat becomes over stimulated during petting, and can´t quite figure out how to tell you to stop if she is biting when she interacts with you, and it is pleasurable for her (such as petting or playing), stop interacting with her immediately. These tactics will require a lot of patience and may never completely stop the biting behavior. she keeps licking you because she is cleaning you and showing you love

Bugs and Indoor Cats The greatest risk kitties have from eating/playing with the cockroaches/bugs is from ingesting the poison you put out to kill the bugs. You can accidentally poison your kitty when they eat a bug (or mouse) that has been poisoned. It´s been my experience that the only side effect cats have from eating a simple bug is they usually will throw up the legs and shell, since that is too hard to digest properly.
