Why does my cat chase the sole of my foot?

Question

everytime i run around the house my cat always chases my feet

Answer 1

My kitten attacks my feet when im sitting down, he also enjoys l*****g them - eww!!

Its maybe because he/she sees something moving, natural instinct takes over and it pounces to kill

Answer 2

Your cat just wants to play. But sometimes they can get aggressive while doing this and start biting/scratching. When you are walking and your cat starts to chase you, make a firm sound similar to, "Annt!" to make him/her quit. This is especially critical if the cat is young, because when they are older they will be even more rough with you. Good luck!

Answer 3

Haha.  Because he's a cat...

I had a cat who attacked my legs whenever I walked but only when I wore nylons.  I think the sound freaked him out.

The cat may outgrow this behavior in time.

My sons say your cat wants attention.  That may be true too...

Answer 4

Cats and Kittens always do that they like to play that way.

Answer 5

hehe my cat does that too. they want to play. I know it can be annoying at times but thats all it really is. I found when i wear baggy pj pants my cat chases me the most. I guess the swaying of the pant leg gets them all gitty

Answer 6

did your cat get encouraged to chase your sole as a kitten? bad habbits die hard if so. try and distract your cat with toys if it annoys you that much.
