Albert is due to be introduced to his wives next sunday but tonight we had him out for cuddles and introduced him (on my daughters lap) to 2 of them. All went well until he decided to gently nibble a foot and ear causing a small squeak of pain. Is this normal behaviour and is it just him showing the girls who's boss or could it mean that he might not be able to live with them. Thanks
 
Nibbling is friendly dominance grooming (I - the stronger - would like you to become part of my herd), typically on the ears.

That's actually pretty cute in a weird way. I did wonder myself as I think this is going on with my two boys.
