He he he I completely understand the climbing up legs, I get it when working at home sitting at the table one cat hanging on each leg.....it's fine with jeans on but not so good with thin trousers! I've found it's a phase they went through and haven't been doing it so much. If they hurt me I would just make a yelp like they do if they are playing too rough with each other and they stop or i take them off and put them back down on the floor.

With the food, only trouble has been curious when we've had food, lots of firm no's and moving her away seems to have worked, though she kept trying for a long time.

Good luck.
