biting feet then trying to drag me away!

I just found a stray, about 7months old and I have had him in my house for about two weeks, I do also have another cat (both males) and he is two years old.
Well this stray I found, named Zeus, is he is just about one of the sweetest I have come across. He loves to be pet non stop and will go to anyone who will pay attention to him and he is extremely playful, nonstop energy. But sometimes it seems like he turns into another cat entirely! There have been a few times where he seems to go nuts and tries to bite ky feet when i try to walk away and he'll try and drag me somewhere. Today I decided to hop over to where he wanted me to just to see where he'd take me, so with one foot in his mouh he dragged me under the table and started to bite me. It hurt a pittle but it didn't seem like he was trying to eat mee, I just don't know what to make of it and it is a little worrisome. Anyone else experience something like this?
And I do play with him, he has lots of toys around.
Him and my other cat, Rama don't get along too well though. Zeus tries to chase Rama and Rama just abhores it.
Could it be some sort of puberty thing or is he trying to "claim me" away from Rama? I just don't know

I'm sure someone will come along to help you who has  more experience than I do, but my first question is has he been neutered?

If not, that's something that should be done by his age. Maybe that is the root of the problem.

It could be a mating kind of thing. If he isn't neutered yet that really should be done soon.

But he might just be playing, too. Are you wearing socks when he does it? One of my kitties is enamored with my wool socks, and will drag them away and hide them in random places. If I still have them on, she doesn't care; she still tries to drag them away! laughing02.gif

My cat NutterButter while playing will claim my hand and bite it and try to tackle it when I pull it away like "RAWR you are mine" and then she'll try to drag me away by my hand because that is what she does with her toys like my hand is her toy...or something like that lol So it probably is the idea that to a cat your their toy lol at least in my case 

 

I think it's a possessive thing because Pangur Bahn the other kitten we have is also very loving and loves to be petted..But when I pet Nutter she goes crazy like "I don't want you to pet anyone else" and bites me to make me pet her more... it's a bad habbit...but I think it might be a possessive thing for cats to want one person....at least in some cases... I think if he's not fixed it might be because of that but my kitten Nutter is a girl and she still does it so I think it is a behavioral issue.

Ol' Ollie has been neutered and he attacks the feet without being encouraged. I don't know if he tries to drag us away because we send him flying when he does it.
