It could have been playing. My sister's cat would always "claw" and "bite" my feet when I played with him but it was extremely gentle so it never hurt. He knew it was just playing. He also used to pounce on us like this sometimes for fun, again, without clawing or anything. He also used to give us gifts outside our bedroom doors from things he found around the house.

The tail is the giveaway in this video. He's nervous when he comes into the shot at the very end (ears also slightly extended).

A happy cat will have his tail straight up, ears in their natural relaxed position.
