Hi there, its been 10days now, since I brought my 3 month's old Siamese kitten (Tiago) home. He used to bite my ears, I posted this some days ago, good news: he stopped bitting my ears. (firm NO method).

Here's the thing: he is now starting to bite my fingers very often.. not hard enough to hurt or anything, but I dont like the fact that he might get acustomed to bite my fingers all the time. I dont play with him using my hands or feets, I play with him ONLY with a hangin' toy.. so, I've been trying this "NO" thing everytime he "bite" my fingers.. will this work? cause hes been doing it more and more as the days go by.. any help? or is this normal? cause they're not bites.. its just like he smells my fingers, holds em with his paw (without bringin' the claws up) and then "bites" them.

This is teething age, unfortunately fingers are the best during this time along with several other soon to be discovered chew toys. Just try to keep him from chewing wires and other hazardous things. As far as the playing, when he gets to rough, try blowing in his face, or push him over with your hand like Mom would do, show him thats enough.
We become mom and sometimes have to let them know when they hurt us in the way thier mom's would.
