I'm dealing with two cats who are exhibiting the same behaviour though they are not related or are not in the same area.
Both are fixed.
One is a female who lives in the garden. She started out very anti-me but has recently started "kitty hugging" my feet and giving my toes a gentle nip every now and then...
What does this mean?
She won't let me pet her... but she seems very fond of my feet.
The other is a male kitten. He started out ok but then because i had to handle him he grew fairly agressive towards me. Then i decided i'd give hime more space and let him and his sister out into the rest of the house. They are fantastic with other cats. And his sister is a realy love bug. He has stopped hissing at me... and today when i went downstairs he did the foot hug and was brushing up against my feet a whole lot... he seemed quite pleased to see me. that was a bit of a surprise....
But what does it mean? Why do they like my feet but not my hands? and will this ever change???
