Recently, my Sophie has been using her paws to try and get my attention. It's kind of hard to describe, but she's not "hitting" me and she has her claws in when she does it. It's more like she's batting, or patting my arm several times. She only does this if I'm laying down. She'll do it in the morning, or if I'm laying on the couch and watching TV. I assume it's some sort of attention thing, like she wants me to play or feed her. I'm only curious because she's been doing it just recently and I've had her for almost a year now. She was a rescue. Any ideas?
Nipping...she's does this occasionally. I assume it's because she's done with us petting her, which is fine. She's always super gentle and never breaks skin or nips hard. I have gone through some threads here to look this up, and we just consider it "love bites" because she's not aggressive at all. The other day, I was getting something out of my purse and she just ran by and nipped my hand (again, super gentle). Thoughts?
Swatting...she'll do this if you walk by her and she's sitting on a perch of some sort. No claws out, just a simple swat. She does this to my Dad a lot when he comes over...haha. Are these "love taps"?
