I cat used to do that, and he drooled a lot too during petting.

Drooling is from being taken away from their mother to early (petting is a reminder of being cleaned by their mother, and the drooling is because they're getting reader to suckle).

I assume the "biting" is your cat attempting to suckle (they have to slightly squeeze the nipple to get the milk out).

how sweet.....

my little girl kneads on me (my breast?????? why that area I don't know, but occasionally it can be painful if her nails aren't trimmed. OUCH

all gestures of love.
Kneeding is another kitten trait. Our taking care of cats puts them in like a perpetual kitten state.

Petting: They like petting because it is assumed this reminds them of their mother's tongue grooming them.

Kneeding: Before kitten suckle, they have to stimulate the milk production in the mother. They do this by "kneeding" the mother stomach (he breasts). It may just be coincidence your cat is doing it to your breasts - maybe not! :)

Hello Meow: If you've ever notice your cat will meow hello when you (or it) enter the room (it's offen kind of half purr, and it raises in pitch at the end) that's exactly what it's doing - kittens make this sound to their mother to announce that they're there (cats in the wild stop this after the are old enough to live on their own).
