My year-and-two-months-old girl lies to come up, meowing, headbutting, and rolling in my lap, then will casually start nipping one of my fingers. Never hard enough to hurt. I will say "ouch" even if it is a mild graze.
She will stop, mouth still open, and stare at me for a few seconds...then move on to the other finger. I say "ouch" again. Same reaction ensues.
When she has gone through the whole hand (and only after the final "ouch"), she will stare at me for a while, then gently push my hand away with her front paws, then almost immediately come back for more pettings/lick my chin/stick her nose in my eye/roll in my lap. She always purrs the whole time she does this, and sometimes she pauses the game to hold my hand between her front paws and uses it to "pet herself" in the same motion that she would use to wash her face. The adult male cat also "pets himself" like that, and they both try to brush themselves in that same manner if the brush is left out.
What are some funny/strange little games your cats play with you?
