Strange cat behaviour

15:29:36

Question
This happened to a friend of mine and I just wondered if you could possibly tell me what it meant:

"We walked around the garden which is on a very very old property with huge trees.   I stood under the one tree and was looking up into it when the one cat ran up my body and put its paws either side of my shoulders and purred and meowed at me while staring right into my eyes...I put her down on the ground but she kept on trying to climb up me again.  She then circled my legs back and forth meowing and carrying on.  The owner was gobsmacked...he says that she never ever does that and never ever goes to strangers.  He adores her but he says that she is very allusive when he tries to stroke her.   When we were leaving he had to chase her because she wanted to follow me.  Anyway my next encounter was with another cat who I see about once a month but who is the devil incarnate lol she is gorg but nobody can touch her not even her owners...she is also an old cat.  I have never attempted to touch or stroke the devil clawed, fire spitting little bitch lol Anyway, last Monday night we were sitting at their pub on very high barstools when she suddenly did exactly what the other one did.  She ran up my body and put her paws on my shoulders and stared straight in my eyes, meowing and the sound was freaky, like a half purr and then a meow.  The owners were amazed...she kept on doing this for about a half an hour...they tried to get her off me but she hissed and clawed at them."     

I've had cats all my life and I've never known them to behave in this manner with a stranger.

Answer
HI
well i am a firm believer in that some people are cat people, meaning that they give off an aura that cats feel happy and confident with. My boyfriend is one of these people, all cats will come to him and want to be with him, when they don't like other people.

Maybe you are one of these people.

Other than that who knows what goes on spiritually around us and I wouldn't like to say as we humans perhaps only know a fraction of what other possibilities there are in the world/ universe etc. I have always believed that cats are a little more in tune with other things and perhaps something has attached itself to you which the cats can feel etc. what ever it is it doesn't sound like a bad thing if the cats want to climb up on you and look at you, they are obviously not afraid.

Of course it could be just coincidence, or your new perfume might be enticing them lol, who knows

best wishes Kate
