I have a seven month old Bengal kitten who is an absolute jewel to have around however I am afraid that my cat might be a little..well nuts.

He loves attention and cuddling with me, He is very needy at times and extreamly hyper, witch is nothing new about a kitten. But at other times, he is overly aggressive, attacks when you are petting him and "beats up" on me and my house guests. and when I say attacks I don't mean normal kitten playing. He goes for the face grabs bites and wrestles my hands and makes me almost afraid to hold him at times. If he were a person I would say he is Bi polar. (can that happen in cats?)

I know that his mother was a very even tempered barn cat and his dad was half Asian snow leopard. But the breeder said that the wild in a normal bangle is to diluted to be causing this behavior.

I have noticed in his behavior that he is defenitly a hunter, he stalks everything including me around the house and my other pets. No punishment I have tried works, it just makes him more aggressive and hyper.

I was wondering if there could be a specific cause for this other than being a kitten because this is more intense than in any other cat I have owned in the past. And if there is anything I can do to make him more docile and less unpredictable. Keeping in mind that much like kids, he never, NEVER listens to me. if I yell at him for doing something hell look me in the face and keep doing it.
