 Annoying cat behavior

One of our two calico's does this all the time to me... drives me crazy.

Sometimes she circles my feet, say when I'm getting ready for bed, and ZAP
bites me for no apparent reason...  (reminds me of a land-shark hahaha)

Ron says she did the same thing to him until he swatted back at her (eh, not
forcefully, I'd imagine ) and she stopped doing that to him.  I just can't
do that... so I I try telling her "NO Lola!" and she does stop.  For a while :)

Maybe I should take her to a Kitty-Shrink ? Lol... No way, as getting her in
the car is such a disaster!

I was really hoping someone had some ideas as to WHY some cats do this.  Her
sister does not... Lulu, her sister, is really a more laid back kitty and just
likes to lay around when she's not outside hunting.  Of course, Lulu is the
one that keeps bringing her catches (or parts of them, I should say...) eeew...

Take care,
Janis
