That weird paw thing is a sign of affection, and basically means the cat was trying to milk you!Cats are vindictive. I was up at fish camp in Alaska and the camp cat came into my cabin soaking wet one night, jumped on my bed and me, stuck his but in my face and was doing that weird cat paw thing on top of me and my sleeping bag. I tossed him off of me pronto. Next day I had to go to outcamp in the bush for a week. When I came back I discovered that he had dropped a deuce in my sleeping bag.
