Many cats who strike unexpectedly were poorly socialized as kittens and didn't learn to give warnings. They will often tolerate attention for a limited time and then strike out. Make a mental note of how long the cat is good for, and then always end the fuss sessions a short time before the end of the fuse is reached. If the cat is on your lap, simply stand up and tip the cat off, keeping your hands well out of the way. If necessary, cover your lap with a rug to help the tipping off process.
