My wife and I have had our little cat now for almost a year and a half. Over the past year she has developed this one behavior that, while not bad, annoying, or anything else, just has us completely puzzled.
When I come home in the evenings from work, I will take off my shirt, and my undershirt to get changed into more comfortable clothes. Most of the time my undershirt will (now at least...because it is so amusing to watch) end up on the floor next to the laundry basket. About the time that little Nina realizes that my shirt has hit the floor, she is there sniffing at it until she can find the underarm area. At that point the licking, nuzzling, rolling and sometimes purring will begin.
There are times when she will even greet me at the door, and when I pick her up, she will proceed to move up to her favorite perch on my shoulder and hang down behind me to start doing it even before I get my shirt off.
We think that this might be somewhat related to the fact that from the day we got her she has went to my wife for love, but she has always come to me for security when something scared her. Any ideas on this one? Thanks for your help.
