Why does the dog sit on my feet at every possible chance?!

[Nailest]

I thought initially it was to keep her behind warm but she does it all the time and everywhere. I don’t know why she hasn’t twigged that I’m unlikely to be standing still for long and that she’s going to get turfed off almost immediately.

The plus point I suppose is that I must be burning a few extra calories dancing around the place like Michael bloody Flatley!

Do other dogs do this?

Maybe she just wants to be close/touch her favourite person.

I love it when mine insists on lying on me 😁

She thinks they smell nice? 😊😊
I have known a few dogs who seem to be very interested in the smell of feet. (Not mine! Dogs or feet... )

One out of my 2 does this, it's just closeness/comfort. The other one's small enough to snuggle up on my lap or squeeze in between me and DH.

We had a cat who would do this. Only to my feet though, nobody else’s, very strange but cute!

My dog doesn't do this but i've met a few who do. One of my cats, however, always wants to settle down on my outstretched legs. I have restless legs and she knows I will involuntary yeet her off at any given moment but still persists.

She is very cuddly (and gets lots of them) but the foot thing seems counter productive for both of us! Is that what it is do you think then, a need to be close?

Yes, she lurrves you!

Because she loves you. Or wants to appear like she loves you. Ours used to do it to random people in the park he thought might have treats - edge his bum right up on their feet and look up their legs at them with his head just above their knees. It worked a lot. It was a very winning look.

Mine does this too
It shows she loves you
Mine will also put his head on my knee and sigh happily
Flattering really

Will I get rewarded if I start sitting on people’s feet - I could do with some extra treats in my life - or does it only work for dogs? <ponders logistics>
