Why do you like to bite me my dear kitten?

[lailamar]

Ok my 4 months old kitten Pilot might be teething and I'm the only one who is the victim of his bites...

I read somewhere, that kittens bite out of love or something, but if that is consider love in kitten world - it's a tough one!

When he bites I give him soft toy to bite on, or move him away from me.

Why am I the only person (husband and son) that my kitten nibbles on me?

And what should I do else to stop this behavior?

Thanks.

It may be teething, but it may also be that he's learned it's a good way to get your attention.

My Random nibbles on my elbow when he wants attention - I've found just a sharp "stop" stops him. A hissing sound works as well - it duplicates what another cat would do if he bit them too hard.

A few of my guys did this when they were young. It was generally attention seeking behaviour.
