Hi there, I'm new here.

My cat Butch does the same thing -- if I walk past him too many times when he's hungry, he'll take a swipe at my leg. Usually he doesn't use his claws -- I think he's just trying to get my attention. But sometimes he'll dig in, and sometimes he'll even launch himself halfway up my thigh. (He's very big.)

I usually ignore it... he doesn't bite hard enough to break the skin, and it doesn't happen often enough to be annoying. I actually think it's kinda funny.

It might be helpful to carry a spraybottle during these times and give him a spray in the face. I can usually tell when Butch is preparing to launch at me -- his body language and the way he lurks around when he's hungry clues me in.

Good luck!
