Why a cat attacks its owner after playtime

Dear Joan – I’m writing about my friend and her five-year-old cat.He is lovable to her. He needs a lot of attention, which she makes sure he gets. She plays with him a lot. Instead of just walking away, like most cats I know do when they’ve had enough, he starts going after her and really bites her legs.

No matter what she does, he doesn’t stop. I don’t know if he gets overwhelmed or too wound up. Any ideas how to deal with this would be welcome.
