Your kitty probably is full of play aggression. When he bites you you should yell "Ouch" in as high and loud a voice possible. This imitates the sound a kitten uses when he cries "uncle" because he's had enough roughhousing. Most cats will back off at that sound.



Sticky paws are another good thing to help with unwanted clawing. So is covering favorite scratching surfaces with aluminum foil.



Here are some articles about play aggression that may help you:

Good luck! The kitten sure is a cutie pie!
