Oh! That brings back memories of my cat's younger days. When I got her I'd been catless for years and therefore forgotten certain cat basics. The very first night I was lying in bed starting to fall asleep when there was a sudden motion, a weight on my feet, and the feeling of millions of little claws (ok 3 or 4) piercing the sheet and then my feet. My instinctive jerk (and screech) thrilled her. Every night after that I'd lie in bed in absolute torment trying not to move my feet even an inch because she was lurking there just waiting to start the game again.
A decade later she takes a halfhearted swipe at my feet maybe once a year at most. For old times sake I guess. And since it's so rare I indulge her by deliberately moving them around as tantalizingly as I can.
In the early years thick covers over my feet helped a lot.
