My cat also pokes me. Drives me nuts if I am wearing nice clothes. She needs to be touching me at all times.

His little paw is the cutest

I find this is specifically true if the air is very dry. I think they know if they are touching you when they get pets, they wont get shocked as bad. Especially with my long hair kitty, I have to use my non pet hand to hold her, so she wont get zapped every time I pet her... but of course, the second I stop petting her, she pokes me with her claws.

My cat does it. And if he is laying you he reaches for the jugular.

This makes it less cute but somehow more interesting

That is love!
