Help! My cat keeps jumping on my head!?
This might sound funny, but it really really isn't. He sneaks up behind me while I'm sitting usually but sometimes when I'm standing. Once, he scratched my ear and it bled lots and a scar is still there. I always have scratches across my face. My mum always shuts him in the bathroom (because he has a very short memory so he forgets about what he did) but he never forgets it completely. My mum is always telling me that he's going to scratch my eyeballs someday and I'll be blind, and that scars me. But he just won't stop. She took him to the vet and the vet said that kittens jump on senior cats' heads to annoy them, but obviously I'm not a cat so I'm confused. I want him to stop! What do I do? He is a year and a half and he's a Bengal, if that helps.

Just push him away if he tries it again. He'll soon get bored and stop trying. A good way to distract him would be to buy a catnip toy, or a bottle of catnip spray and use that on his toys.

Your head is the nearest thing the cat can find to its mother. It likes the feeling of hair - it is comforting.
get a spiked helmet and wear it all the time
Well, alright, get a motor-biker's helmet. Cat will jump and fall off. That should teach it quite quickly

when he gets behind your head take him off and pout him on the floor and give him a treat. he should soon realize that to get good attention he shouldn't do this behavior
