Ursa Minor sneaking up to wish me a very bitey #Caturday. Earlier this year he started sneaking up or furiously diving at me to bite my lower legs. Most often it is fairly gentle, occasionally he gets too feisty and I have to pick him up and hold him like an ornery, sharp baby until his hunting instinct subsides.

My amygdala has primal, ancient hominid opinions about this game. He stalks my wife, but doesn’t attack her. I’m also the Mama he wants “fight cuddles” from, so hunting me must be in this range of behaviors he associates with me.
