Why does Nigel sit on my foot? I thought it was just to be close to me but then I wonder if it's a power trip thing...hope someone can tell me. THX!

That's what I like then I heard something about them doing that to dominate and I wondered if I should remove my foot....I like the wanting to be close to me and keeping in touch theory. lol Thanks!

As far as I would guess that is all it is. Cuttys breeder even mentioned that to me when we got him, how they have to be touching you. He likes to sit behind me on the couch if I am only sitting on the front part and rest his head on my back. One of my favorite things.

Feet, arms, even my head and face. Ruckus is a snuggle bug and loves to cuddle up especially at bed time.

Sarah aka cow
never heard of that particular thing being a dominance thing. i think its just a bully thing. sarah loves to lay her head on my feet if she can. if im on the couch she will lay her head across whatever she can of mine. if im in the bed sometimes its my chest sometimes my legs sometimes my feet depends on where she is in the bed. unless you see some other dominating things i wouldnt worry bout it. the only thing i have stopped sarah from doing is she used to try to lick my neck. i felt this was a dominance thing so i dont allow her to do it.

I agree about wanting to be touching you except mine back up their rears to me. My husband taught them to back up to him so he could massage their backs. :D

Yea, I was wondering the same thing. Hulk loves to sit on my feet when I'm watching tv on the couch... or he'll sit on pretty much anyone's feet. But, he also has to be within 3 feet of me at all times... which I love. So, I figured he just likes knowing I'm there.

Nitschke was like this --- he HAD to be touching you in some way at all times. Banks -- not so much.
