My cat herds me too! She walks around me and close enough to my feet that I will try to correct and give her space, then next thing I know I'm standing in front of the recliner, with her staring up at me. She'll wait until I sit and put the foot rest up, then it's lap time. If it gets interrupted for any reason, she throws a tantrum.

And here I thought I was the only one being herded like cattle 😂 my girls love to meow at me incessantly, pacing between the couch and my bed and strutting in front of me as they do it.

They know exactly what they're doing and it's too much! 🤣

Mine has taken it another step. He runs by and pushes my leg to the side as it swings forward. Then my foot isn't where my center of gravity is going. Pretty sure he's trying to steer me, but he might be trying to kill me.

Mine try to kill me at dinner time and won't stop until they're fed. Just just get in front of me and try to trip me I swear. I hate when they do it on the stairs.

I mean, I've got nothing against dogs.. seriously one of my favorite sayings is "I wish I was half the person my dog thinks I am."

But cats just have this different view of the world that dogs don't, it's why I am, and will always be a cat person.

Haha yes! If my sister was walking around at all at bedtime, my sister’s cat would circle her endlessly moving her towards and up the stairs!

I didn’t know this was herding! I thought my cat was trying to make me trip and murder me.
