My question is regarding a certain new behavioral thing our cat Cal exhibited one night. I know it might seem silly, but we play a game in which I stalk him, chase him, he hides, maybe he stalks me a little too, and we just play that way for quite a while. I admit, I run around like a little kid
and we both get a good workout.
Anyway, one night, I was trying to act more like a cat, so I was kneeling behind the rocking chair and "stalking" him. I don't know if it were because I appeared cat-like or what that he suddenly ran towards me, but the rest of the night when we'd play our game, he'd stalk me and run right up to me! Kinda reminded me of when a little kid runs up to its parent, though he most definitely favors my mother the most. I didn't stay on the floor long enough to find out what he'd do once he'd reach me (didn't know if he'd jump on my head and attack, lol), but I was just sort of wondering what it meant. He almost had this expectant look on his face like he wanted me to play with him like another cat would or something. It was very cute, and I wonder if anyone else's cat has done this, too.
