My cat bites and attacks me. Is he bored or just aggressive?

Question

My cat, Zachy, has had a serious play aggression issue for two years now. He is a healthy, neutered male who is usually very sweet, loving and playful. Whether I'm petting him, or just working on my laptop, he will get annoyed and then suddenly latch onto my arm or leg, kick and bite down really hard and very viciously. If I push him away he just comes back and continues to bite me. He loves to play but gets bored easily. His fave game is to jump out from under my bed and attack my feet.

This sounds like normal cat behavior for a young cat. I suggest you try some Feliway and some environmental enrichment. He is likely a bit bored.
