I thought someone else might also reply with a better answer but I can tell you how Boris is. When he was a kitten he was quite the loving attentive little guy. As he has matured, he is still that way but on his terms. For example last night he jumped up in my lap to lick my neck (that is his security blanket) while I pet him. But he tends to get over-stimulated easy and after a little bit you will see that tail of his start switching back and forth and I know that I am in for a "nip" as last night he nipped my cheek. So I think that as he has gotten older, he tends to get over stimulated easier and just plays more aggressively. Just as soon as this starts, I pick up one of his soft balls and we play a game of "fetch". It distracts his attention to the new game and before long he has exercised that "friskiness" out of his system.
