my first two never ever bit,,the third who was a rescue nailed me on the ankle the very first day i got her (Maddison) she looked very much like Vel's but had the little black marks under her eyes like a football player..Second and last time she bit i had torn a peice of steak with my teeth to give her a peice,,she was crawling around my neck shortly after and must have smelled the meat on my lips and wham... never ever bit again tho.
