Sometimes she'll ambush me when i'm walking thru the house.She'll lay in wait and them rush up behind or from the side and "tag" me w/ her paw.Is it playtime?
When I first rescued her she had been abused and any sort of contact led to "love bites" not breaking the skin and scratches that did.Huge trust issues. I quickly learned that anything over 5 strokes to her body would get a bite or other protest.Lots of purring,build up of energy and then BAM ! I don't seem to get the reaction when stroking the head/ears,just the long side strokes. She's training me.
After a coupla years we're both older and wiser(lol) so we seem to tolerate each other more now.My previous Russian Blue was just the opposite of this American short hair. You couldn't touch Blues tummy but current cat demands it.Go figure.
Our cat tries to get fed 20 times a day. And as there is quite a few people in the household atm he is winning.
This morning he led me to his food bowl, I saw he had been fed, so I stirred his biscuits around a bit and walked away.
He chased me and went for my feet, thankfully his class were not out.
He is a very demanding cat
