Does anyone else's cat do this?

If I'm in bed and my cat is there too, if she sees my legs or anything moving under the duvet she will think it's a creature of some kind and will try to pounce on my legs 🤣 so I find myself trying to keep extra still now

Absolutely typical cat behaviour. Great game😂

Standard catting I'm afraid.

Why would you keep still?!

Same, my cat does that too!😂

Surely that's one of the pluses of being a fidget?

Make a v-shape with your legs and wiggle each big toe in turn. See how fast your cat can corner.

Mine bit my toe the other night . Must remember not to put feet outside duvet.

We call that the 'bed mouse' game. Because they chase around the bed as if they're hunting a mouse running around under the duvet.

Yes they use it for agility practice. Great fun!

Maybe the op needs thicker bedding. My cat bites the creature beneath the bedclothes and it sometimes hurts, even through the duvet!

Lightly scratch the mattress too . Sends them nuts as they think it's a rodent under the duvet .

Bed mice! Most cats do this. I would have said all cats but our current cat very seldom lowers himself to do anything as common as playing. We can wiggle our toes in complete safety.

One of mine loves this game. I enjoy it more in winter when my duvet is thicker. In the Australian summer our bedding is very thin and my toes get chomped.

My cat can't abide any part of your body appearing suddenly from under the duvet. Head out, all night, that's fine. But if a hand or foot or side suddenly appears at any point, he is there to assist you in getting that bit back under as quickly as you possibly can.
Feeling a cat paw on the back of your knee is not the best way to be woken at 4 am. I cocoon now where possible.
