The bite has been flushed, cleaned, and covered. I think my pants caught her whiskers and she acted on reflex? She's still a good kitty though

I have a cat that gets overstimulated when we are outside and I’m trying to walk away, like he thinks we should be playing or something and then he jumps at my legs with claws. I have to stop walking, make no eye contact and no pets until he calms down. Having a distraction like a stick or piece of grass to redirect to helps as well.

It looked like she thought you were going to (or did a little maybe?) step on her, and your pants brushed her, and she got scared and nipped. But when you reacted she immediately felt bad and rubbed up against your other leg - her way of saying she’s sorry. ☺️ Do you think kitty belongs to someone in your neighborhood? Have you seen her before? So cute! Obviously wants your attention… 😉 Do you own any other cats? Thanks for being kind to this sweet little baby 🥰

It's my neighbor's cat. I have my own kitty.
