behavior falls into 3 main categories:

too much play, too much touch, too much attention or environmental noises and
stimulation.

Playful stalking is the second type.
This is where you cat goes underfoot!
You want to walk, but she insanely gets your attention by been almost trodden
on.
Well, this is usually your cat trying to tell you that she need something pretty
basic such as food, of to be let out to do a pee. Sometimes though it's because
she thinks you're about to start playing with her, but you don't. She needs
the play and isn't satisfied.
Defensive aggression in the third type
of cat behavior
This is a more unusual biting behavior but should be watched out for.
You'll see your cat bite you or have aggressive behavior but then he runs and
withdraws to hide underneath a piece of furniture.

or hyperthyroidism.
If you suspect this at all, then see your local vet.

displayed by your cat.
For defensive aggression remember, consult your vetenarian.
For playful stalking or offensive aggression, you'll can teach your cat to
enjoy you touching him and to stop him from biting you when you do!
