i have two young cats (6 mos. of age), one male one female. sometimes the female cat will just suddenly jump on me (or climb on me) while i'm either sitting or standing.. and to hold on, she would claw onto me but that hurts!! the male doesn't do that.. i assume he knows better. is there a way to stop this behavior?

Tucker used to do this to me all time. My screaming in pain finally stopped after a couple of times. I think these little kitties just want to be with us and in our laps but they just can't jump that high yet. So they just grab on with their claws not realizing that it hurts!

Kind of a late response, but Amber does this with trees. All of a sudden, we'll see her race across the yard and "attack" a tree - jumps and "hugs" the tree with all four paws and claws. Sometimes she'll bounce off the trees. She's an adult cat though so I don't know why she's doing this stuff. We just chaulk it up to her being goofy.
