That's the same kind of Play Aggression my Poe had. He is so sweet and loving but man, does he like to play attack! We think he must have been alone for quite some time before showing up at the ASPCA.
Wand toys. Laser pointers. Fuzzy socks filled with cotton and catnip if you don't want to pay for the fuzzy toys from the store. Poe LOVES his fuzzy toy and doesn't attack at my feet with his teeth and claws any more.
This happened sometimes because of over stimulation. He would get very sensitive. So I had to keep my head pets moving and short with some treats on hand. I got very good at saying 'Gentle!' and pulling my feet and hands away to replace with an appropriate "attack" toy.
For the record, that vet is terrible. I'd seek out a new one. My goodness.
