My cat is 18 months old, and has a really funny/weird habit. Every time I'm walking down the hallway of our home, she runs alongside me tapping my legs with her paw. It's almost as if she's saying "tag, you're it!". Sometimes she does it a few times with a couple of nips with her little teeth, sometimes just once before she does a kitty-collapse on the floor in front of me and rolls around on her back.
I understand she's no doubt playing and wants attention, but why does she do this just to me, not my husband or anyone else who visits? She does it alot when I've just turned the light off to go to bed, so I can't see her, and it feels like she's tackling my legs and I try to get into bed without a cat attached.
It's cutem amusing and all, but a little annoying - especially when I'm carrying an armload of washing and I can't see her - and I'd rather not have new kitty scratches on my legs every day. I'm not sure how to train her to not do it. Any ideas?
