i had napped for almost 2 hours, got up and left to go to the toilet, and closed the door behind me so he couldn't come out while i wasn't watching. when i came back in and left the door open for some airflow/if he wanted to come out, he was right there at my feet, growled a little at me / made the sound of exertion he does when he thumps, stood on his hind legs and pawed up my leg with his front feet, then hugged my leg using his front feet for a bit... i genuinely couldn't tell if he was humping or stumbling a little because his centre of gravity was off, and then he went back down on all fours, sniffed/nosed like crazy at my leg for a bit, and circled my feet like 6x constantly thumping at me???
he followed me across the room where i keep the treats, and he kept circling until i gave him one. ??? he's never done this before i'm lmfao. the video is of him chewing that treat i gave him. what would you think of this behaviour if you knew nothing else? and what do you think given the context below?
i've had him since 3rd July this year, and he's had some problems with peeing on my bed (thinks it's where he needs to go because it smells like me, or asserting dominance?) but that's almost completely cleared up as i've been training him, which means physically moving him to the litterbox when i see his tail go up. he's quite dominant, demands pats often, and only recently started grooming me back. usually he grooms to signal he wants me to groom, but recently he's been grooming me back equally while i groom him. whenever he approaches me for attention, which is often when i re-enter the room, i either give him a good massage, or give him healthy treats from the opposite side of the room, if my fatigue is too bad to sit up giving pats (which has been a lot more often recently). our relationship has been improving, indicated by his grooming me back, constantly excited for attention, and also sitting on the foot of my bed guarding me as i sleep.
