Why do cats get the urge to scratch (m)

after you play with them for a while? Do they mean to hurt us? I was playing with my neighbours kitten today, she was going back and forth rubbing against me when suddenly, she tries to catch my hand with her paws and I felt her claws. There was no blood but it still didn't feel nice to have her try to scratch you like that.

Then she clawed my leg, again no blood but I was just wondering. Is this cat playing?

Btw, this is the first time I'm posting here so, HI to all!

Hugs,

Elaine

thanks for the info. Now I know that the little kitty didn't mean to hurt me but I'll be more careful next time.

Hugs,
