How can I stop a cat from attacking?

I'm getting bloody covered in scratches from Toots.

She is constantly pouncing on my feet, leaping at my face and just clawing me. She can't even sit on my sometimes without suddenly jumping up at biting me.

I chase away when she does it because it bloody hurts but she keeps coming back and doing it again. I know she's only a baby and it's perfecting her hunting skills but she's really beginning to hurt me now

What can I do?

"Grow thicker skin" Grin

Can I borrow yours?

When I mean chase I don't mean getting up and chasing out the room. I mean just shooing her away

I don't want the cat just the skin! One psycho is enough thanx!

She's nearly 11 weeks. I know it's just a phase but it bloody hurts!

She's settled down now. Asleep on my lap again but I have got to be careful not to touch her. She seems to have this rule you see. She can lay all over me but if I touch she bites
