Cats enjoy being stroked for several reasons:

* It stimulates certain glands that have endorphins * it creates a general bond between owner and cat * stroking also feels like licking to the cat...as if they are being groomed by their mother or another cat. * it also calms them down and helps in keeping them alert and awake by stimulating the parts of the spinal cord think like a cat!

That is called a "love bite." Sometimes they just get so excited and happy when they're petted, that they bite gently (not enough to draw blood).

Licking is a sign of love in cats. She probably likes you to pet her, and is taking in your "scent" because she likes it, and it's comforting.
