I have a 6 month old male Persian kitten named Oliver. I adopted him when he was 1 month old. He attacks me and bites me a lot. He does it in a playful matter, but I have a lot of scars on my hands now 
my brother used to play with him using his hands when Oliver was 1 month old, but he stopped as soon as we noticed him attacking our hands now. He bites when I try to pet him or hold him. (I can only hold him for 10 seconds before he bites). I noticed he grabs hold of my hand with his claws, then bites, then uses his back feet to kick my hand as he's holding it he does the same behavior with his toys. I asked the vet about it, she said it was normal, and that I should grab him by the scruff . but even when I grabbed him by the scruff, it didn't seem to effect him at all. I play with him every hour, and my brother plays with him when I'm at school, and I leave a lot of toys for him, but he still seems to be hyper. Once, I was studying in my room, and he was in the living room, he suddenly ran to my room, jumped on my bed and grabbed my hand and started biting it D: I did absolutely nothing to trigger that attack.
My friend told me I should try putting him in a room whenever he behaves badly, but he bites me when I try to pick him up. I also tried yelling OUCH and leave the room when he bites. but yelling OUCH did nothing and I had to pull my hand away, which caused a lot of scratches on my hand. I tried clapping or making a loud noise, but he held on to my hand and wouldn't let go. I tried throwing a toy to distract, but he ignores it and keeps biting.
He also likes chewing on cables, wires, and electric cords. I manged to keep most of them out of reach, but I couldn't find a way to cover my computer cords. He squeezes himself in between the wall and the computer and starts chewing on them. and can't reach him when his back there so I have to move the whole computer desk and get bitten when I reach out to grab him (this happiness almost five to seven times a day).
My friend told me that spray bottles will keep him away. But I have a few reasons why I can't do that...
1-He's close to cable and wires, I can't spray water there.
2-I used to use that a few months ago whenever he bite me, but I noticed he slowly started to be afraid of me so I stopped.
Please, does anyone have an advise on how to stop this behavior?
