Wellington, an Egyptian Mau, will not eat in the morning until someone has proffered a foot for him to roll around on ecstatically. He will also stalk his own tail and pounce on it when it twitches. If he is on someone else's lap, it's very easy to upset him by stroking him AND THE OTHER PERSON at the same time. He can't stand it. Merlin, part Persian, refuses to believe in water and gives perfectly soundless squeaks. And they have both, at one point in their kittenhood, had a problem with kicking themselves in the head.   

We also once had a cat who enjoyed climbing my father to hear him scream and would then dash away with her tale arched madly ...but that was a long time ago.
