You should also consider your behavior before and after the attacks. This happened to me with Noah for the first month...the reason was is that I was jumping around sreaming each time he attacked. It was FUN to have a giant squeek toy to play with!

Before you consider diagnosing this cat with mental problems, see how things go when you calmly react to his atacks by placing him on the floor, with a toy, away from you. If he continues, use a spray bottle.

It totally worked with Noah, and to be honest, I swear he KNOWS we don't like him clawing or biting becuase now when he plays with me, his claws are in and he nibbles, he doesn't latch on like before.

The reason I know this was the case with our kitten, was that he wouldn't attack my hubby like he did me. He seemed to think I was here just for him to practice his attack skills.

Good luck and let us know what happens with Scooby.
