How do I get Noah to stop attacking our legs?? When he is in a playful mood he will follow us all over the apartment and attack our legs and I am afraid that we will step on him! I have stumbled over him a few times.

This is play behavior, he wants you to play. That is how kittens play with eachother, he sees no other kitten so he is demanding that you play. As for stopping the behavior, I have never had a lot of luck with that. Usually they grow out of it but I do have one that still does it occasionally even though he is 3 years old now. As for stepping on him, I think all of mine have had a foot or a tail stepped on at least once. They usually learn to keep the foot or the tail out of my way, except for Wicca who pretty much thinks I should keep out of HER way. If I step on any part of her, she attacks my foot with teeth and claws... makes her point pretty well, believe me!!!

Get him a little playmate to play with. Right now you're Noah's playmate. He'd be so happy to have another little kitten as a playmate.
When Samantha was an only kitten, she'd attact people's feet and ankles all of the time. She finally outgrew it.

LOL. Kittens love to do that! I don't know how to stop him from doing it though. I guess get him more toys, and distract him with one when you want to walk by? Good luck!
