Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! Jojo is very cute! This type of question is hard to answer based on your one statement. This is best answered in a consult where we can ask each other questions. My questions are: Is she attacking your randomly? Or just when you are touching her? Sadly most cats only like to be pet or touched around the face and neck and will bite if you pet them past their shoulder blades or on their belly. It is a rare unicorn cat that will let you pet them like a dog. My suggestion is to find where she likes to be touched and only pet her there. And most cats will only tolerate the petting for a certain period of time then bite. It is their world and we live in it. If she is randomly attacking you I recommend professional help: prozac and feliway dffusers. I hope this helps and I wish you and Jojo the best! http://pet-supplies.drsfostersmith.com/search?w=feliway%20for%20cats
