We adopted a lovely cat (Jess) a couple of years ago when the previous owner could no longer keep her (due to her older cat not getting on with Jess). Jess was nearly a year old when we adopted her.
She was obviously nervous at first but soon settled in. She’s very lovely and affectionate (I mainly WFH and she follows me to the loo, tries to sit on the laptop while I’m working, gate crashes Teams meetings etc). As soon as my partner and I wake up in the morning and she can hear us, she ‘knocks’ on the door (more of a scratch really) to come in, jumps in the bed and purrs so loudly, she’s adorable and so affectionate but she has one really annoying habit. She ‘attacks’ me.
I can be walking through the house and she’ll pounce on me. If I’m standing still she will sometimes jump up at my hand. It really makes me jump and she doesn’t do it to anyone else (DP or the 3DCs) only me.
Has anyone got any ideas why she does this? I’ve had cats for most of my life and have never encountered this before.
