Male cat getting underfoot
My first male cat has been around for five years. Sometimes, I am
walking around, maybe in a hurry doing stuff, but not really paying attention to him (in other words... not causing it stress by keying on him or anything). Sometimes he darts in front of me to get to another location. Taking a wild guess, that seems to be a game of "I am faster than you are". Of course it could also have to do with trying to get my attention. If it were simple stress, he might not run right in front of me. I have seen a similar example with a female, as I was walking, she jumped out in front of me paws/claws spread high and wide in the air. But obviously she was playing. |

To be clear... It's not a problem, but I might need to get used to
it. |

To me, it sounds like he's wanting to play with you. Has he got another cat to chase and wrestle with? Our male cat, 7 years old, lost his brother a while back (sadly) and since then he's been trying to get some play out of us, going for the ankles and so forth. However, we're not as much fun as another cat and so he's taken to wandering far and wide in search of other cats! Eddy. |

He might be inviting me to play "chase me". He gets some play out of our (hard-core) feral female, but seems to get a little rough, and he would probably like more. Sometimes he runs around the house at full speed, and I encourage that as much as possible. -- Eddy. |
