Attacking Your Feet Is Their Way Of Playing And Practicing
Imagine this: you’re sitting on the couch, minding your own business, when a ball of fur comes out of nowhere and starts attacking your feet. This can be a surprising situation, especially if you’re not wearing any socks and your kitty’s sharp little claws and teeth nick you.
The good news is that they’re not trying to attack you. Well, not really. This behavior usually means that your cat wants to play and that it’s practicing its pounces and jumps. Most cats are playful by nature, and when they’re bored, they’re looking for some type of game. If you’re not into foot attacks, give them a toy or string!
Sniffing Your Face Doesn’t Mean They Want To Bite You
Cats are suspicious by nature. So, if all of a sudden your cat is in your face, sniffing your mouth, nose, hair, and skin, don’t be too alarmed. Yes, it does feel weird for an animal to be in your personal bubble just to sniff you out, but it is because they are taking in your unique scent.
Your face is a great place for a cat to get a nice whiff of your natural aroma. They want to make sure you are still you and not some impostor that they don’t trust. Because, ya know, someone isn’t going to take your entire face and become you.
