There are many reasons why a cat might keep stepping on you. The most common reason is that it will stand on your lap, lift its legs, and scratch your skin with its paws. This is a way for cats to express their affection. They might also be trying to get your attention, such as when they need to play, eat, go for a walk, or want something from you. They will use this method to make their requests.
Unlike dogs, cats are highly independent and can hunt for themselves, so owners don't need to worry about being too busy to spend time with them. Cats are also very tolerant of young creatures, especially older cats, which tend to be affectionate towards children and can play with them.
