Two of mine do this too.  I think Smoky does it because he is finally free
and then goes and beats up somebody else.  (he does not like being held at
all)  And Poki... will keep trying to get my elbows and keep coming in and
wardancing.  Scruffing only makes him crazier.  The ONLY way I can get him
to calm down is to hold him to by chest with two hands and hang on till he
calms down.  Then he walks away to do something else.
