My cat is very strange. Every night before I go to bed she feels the need to attack my feet as I make the walk from one side of the room to my bed. As soon as I get in bed, she ignores me. If I walk through my room in the middle of the day, she doesn’t attack my feet, nor will she attack my feet anywhere else in the house, even around bedtime. It’s just during my walk to bed that she attacks. I think it’s playful, but it seems very strange to me. Why would she do that?

Getting The Best Dog Bed
If you own a dog, especially an older one, getting a good dog bed is a really great gift to give your beloved pet. The need a good place to rest and sleep just like us. After all, you wouldn't want to bed down in an uncomfortable mattress or sleep on a hard surface all night.
Sleeping on the floor or even on a bad or uneven bed isn't the best thing for a dog to do. As they get older it becomes even more important that they have a really good dog bed to sleep in.
The other reason to get a dog bed is, of course, to keep them off of yours or off of the best couch in the house. If you don't want them all over your furniture, get them a comfortable bed of their own that they will love and use for a long time.
From the simplest dog beds to the more elaborate types, there are many to choose from. Some are more or less like large bean bags, some are donuts or round pet beds. There are also bolster dog beds, which have sort of a pillow going all around the outer edge of the bed. Dogs like to use this as a pillow for their head while they sleep. Then there is the orthopedic dog bed and memory foam beds, which are among the best you can get.
There are also outdoor dog beds which are made for outdoor areas like the back porch and there are also heated dog beds. These are great for dogs, especially during the cold winter months. Even when you have the heat in the house cranked up, the floor can sometimes stay cold and it's not good for your dogs bones and joints. A heated dog bed will keep your canine pal comfy and warm the whole time like a warm blanket.
Another option you may want to look into is getting a waterproof dog bed. We have all taken our dog out for a walk when it is raining and wet outside. Whether we want to or not, we have to go out on those miserable days when the rain is pouring and we both get soaked. After a good towel dry, dogs still have some moisture left on their coat and skin. The nice part about a waterproof dog bed is that your dog can lay on this type of pet bed without getting it soaked on the inside where the water stays put. These beds are made for this so they do not get ruined every time your water soaked pooch rests on them. For those dogs that prefer to stay out on the porch or outside near their kennel or dog house, they are much happier on a waterproof bed than a conventional one that soaks up the water. It's not only a comfortable resting spot for sleeping and lying down, but it will last longer too.
Not all dog beds are the same just as not all dogs age the same. When your dog gets older, he or she will most likely develop the same types of aches and pains due to joint problems that humans do. When your dog starts to slow down due to joint pain, inflammation and arthritis, the best thing you can do is to look into getting them a memory foam dog bed.
As soon as your are aware that you dog is suffering from orthopedic issues, the floor is simply not a good place for them to sleep. Even a conventional dog bed just will not do. The even balance of a dog's weight is more important at this stage of their life than at any time before. A bumpy or uneven bed is not good for the existing joint pain and can actually worsen the dog's problems over time.

The evening, in the dusk and twilight hours, are a cat’s natural times to hunt. The dim light gives them the advantage over their prey, and the remaining warmth of the previous day means their prey might still be active. So it is natural for her to play during this period.
As for why only in the bedroom? Somehow, she has gotten it into her head that this is an appropriate place to hunt/play. Cats can be very territory oriented, and can have it set in their heads that behaviour acceptable in one room is not in another. I have one cat that loves to have her belly scratched, but only in the living room. We have no idea why, it just is.

Thats so cute!! but i found cats to be most playful during the night. my cats sleep during the day and play at night..

My cat does the same, she chases me up the stairs at bed time and nips at my feet. I think it’s because night time is when cats really come alive (in the wild) i’ve had 8 cats and they all get very giddy at around 11pm.
In their minds, their just playing with you.

I’ve noticed that cats are very affectionate in the morning and the night. She probably just thinks it a game.
I find that very cute. =D

Cats are born predators. She probably thinks your feet are her prey.

Why do they do anything they do? Just want to play around I think. Let me tell you about my Charlee. Her food is in my bathroom and she will come to get me and cry outside the door. She will wait for me and ask me to come in by a meow and walks in. If I don’t go with her she will come after me. Why? She doesn’t want to eat alone. She will get me and lead me into the bathroom and have me wait for her while she eats. She’s so social. lol
My Emma will only sit on me and let me cuddle her at night after I’m in bed. She’ll come and sit on me then.
I think your cat sound so cute. I think it’s just her routine.
