Doesn't "toxo" kill it's host rather quickly?
We have cats that will walk on our chests when we're laying in bed and will flop over on their sides. They do this mostly to my wife, nearly landing on her face. During the day, they are not so cuddly, acting more like they think we're going to kill them if we get too close.
I used to have a cat that was quite "normal" in the way he played: chased stuff but didn't "attack" anybody. That is, until a friend of mine said, "Oh, you don't know how to play with cats!" and she proceeded to rough-house with him. After that, he was an attack cat, often jumping at a passer-by's leg and grabbing with a little nip.
