The snuggling part probably just means that she wants affection, but the last thing you described sounds like play aggression. The ASPCA has a great article about play aggression and how to prevent this behavior if it is starting to get out of hand. http://www.aspca.org/site/PageServer?pagename=pets_playaggression

Cat love to play it the one thing they do best my cat hides onder the table and when you walk by she grabs your leg and as for the snuggles that means that in your cats eyes you the leader

example: in a tiger pack there is one cat that is higher then all the rest and all the other cats snuggle agenst that one cat.

She just loves you and is trying to get your attention to stop and play with her or give her a soft pat on the head...maybe she's even trying to tell you to refill the bowl,( that would explain the snuggling when you walk) also when she grabs your leg (even with her claws) she's trying to get you to stop and play a game with her. One game my cat and I used to play involved me and her sitting on opposite sides of an open door.I would jump out at her and laugh...but she would get me back, she'd jump out & scare me, so I would fall backwards onto the floor, then it looked like she was laughing ( in her own way)


WARNING:
Depending on your cat's personality,she/he may/may not use claws when jumping out at you in the game....mine never did but it all depends on YOUR cat....try the game for a bit at first, don't let her get too hyper, then gradually play it for longer periods of time.
This was my kitty's favorite game, it could become yours too!


GOOD LUCK FELLOW KITTY OWNER!!!!

She wants to play with you. Kittens love to play but will out grow some of the hyper stuff later.

That's not weird behavior at all for a cat. She is teaching herself to hunt by playing with you. Have fun while she is learning. I hope this helps.

I guess that she thinks it is fun! Or she might be trying to catch her *pray* but without the claws. Ya know, I really don't know the answer to this question.

sounds to me like she wants your attention. My cat when he's hungry will pretty much snuggle me to death or knock things over to get my attention.

My cat does that too, I figure he's either trying to get my attention, or it's just a sign of affection.

maybe she likes to snuggle on people.

If she is a kitten, she will outgrow this. They like to practice their hunting skills. This is her pretending time.
