How old is he, Ashley?  Do you think he's perhaps just playing roughly?  Young cats will do that sometimes, it's like when they're still in the litter and the way they play with their littermates, hiding, then jumping out and attacking! 

There are so many resources out there for the training of dogs, but not so many for cats, however cats can be trained.  Hopefully the book you ordered will give you some hints.  I have some cat books; I'll try and go through them and see if I can find anything as well that might be helpful to you.
