My kitten, Sketch, has been biting since a few days after I brought him home. He only does this to me. He does it when purring and playing. I've tried telling him no and I've tried ignoring him. Also, I have been constant. Sketch has also been neutered. He is 5 months old.

Do you have any other suggestions I can try?

Welcome to TCS! 


This is actually fairly natural to kittens. They would play with their siblings in much the same way. You mention he's only doing this to you and I think this could mean he trusts you the most. 

We have more info about this type of behavior in this article -

Awe. That's great that he trust me. I'm just afraid when he gets bigger that he's going to hurt me. Thank you for your reply. I'm new to this site and not tech savy at all. I am grateful to read your message. Any advice or information that you give me would be greatly appreciated.

Acting hurt and pretending to cry or run away when he does this would send the message that he's hurting you.
