My cat will literally flop over when she sees me so that I can pet her belly. Then she gets all playful and starts doing the kangaroo kicks while biting and gripping with her claws, just like she does when she's playing with a toy. There's a big difference between a play scratch and an attack scratch.

One of mine starts rolling like a rolling pin as soon as I open the door coming home. And he won't stop that or jumping up my leg until I scratch him intensely. We always suspect that he grew up with dogs :)
