Underfoot

Have I written about this before?  Maybe I have.  My cats are often underfoot.  I appreciate their desire for closeness.  That is what we have pets for. But this leads me to some distress.  By being underfoot, I often quite unintentionally nudge, kick or step on some part of one of my cats. You would think that they would realize this and give me more space, but they do not.

For this reason, I rarely wear shoes in the house.  I might just wear socks, but more often than not, I wear soft slippers. So, when we have foot to body interaction, it is milder than if I was wearing shoes.
