My six month old DSH Lessa hasn't learned yet to play nice, and after nearly three months I'm running out of unmarked flesh. She is the only animal in the house and is a former shelter cat.

Lessa often times plays by biting *hard* or digging her claws into my arm. And recently she's taken to swiping at my face when she feels she's being ignored, usually when I'm asleep. She didn't act like this at all for the first month after she adopted me. There's no rhyme or reason to when she acts out like this or at least none I can discern. Someone suggested putting hot sauce on my hands to get her to stop biting me, but I find that idea less appealing then simply putting up with her biting.

Can someone please help me figure out what is causing this behavior and what I can do to stop it?
