It's in their instincts to hunt or "swat" moving prey and that's exactly what your feet are! They also just like to play and anything that moves is very attractive to a cat.

This is called play aggression. Cats are predators and they are always practicing their skill. In the case of humans, this serves a double purpose, it's also trying to get your attention for playtime.

The cat is indicating to you that it's time to play- even if you don't know it.
Get some fake mice or a wand toy to redirect this behavior if it bothers you.

Playing with you...
You have a playful cat and it's playing with your feet as if they were toys.

Yes sometimes...especially when they're kittens. My cat will even attack me when I'm laying or sitting still...

Because your feet smell like a mouse. :-)
