Hi There,



It sounds to me as if this kitten gets overstimulated easily. I think if you learn to read his body language, such as a twitching tail and ears being held back, he will be easier to live with. Pet him only as much as he can handle and don't pick him up if he doesn't like it. I'm assuming that this is why he bites you in the face. You also need to make sure you never play with him using your hands. Get some interactive toys and use them instead. When the kitten goes for your hands, play with him with a toy.



Some cats can take only so much handling and attention. I have a couple of cats that tend to bite if I pick them up and/or pet them too much. I have accepted that this is just the way they are. I keep an eye on their body language and know when it's time to just let them be.



This behavior may or may not be related to his breed. It's really impossible to say.



Regards,

PHKitkat
