I know this may be common in most cats but I just want to make sure.

I have a 2 year old cat, Lily, and ever since we've gotten her from the humane society, she's been very loving. She used to like having her tummy rubbed in the first 3 months we had her but ever since then when I would pet her anywhere near her paws, tummy, tail etc she'd be relaxing and then in a second she'd turn around and swat me! Somtimes even bite me! And other times she would bite me, dig her claws into me and use her hind legs to scratch my arm. I've seen her do this before when she would use her catnip toy and she'd mangle it almost to death just to get it open to nibble on the catnip. And yet when she cries for attention, I'd give it to her and since I steer clear away from those "danger" spots sometimes even petting her on the head she'll scratch and swat at me.
