Garnett...I moved this to the cat help forums since it is cat related....

Do you play with him enough throughout the day so he has plenty of attention from you...
does he have toys to play with when you are away?

kittens need to be taught how to play and not bite and scratch...my Munkie is near to the same age as yours and has taken to doing the same...even though I have hand raised him since he was 4 hours old...

I tell him a firm "NO BITING!" (or scratching) and I pick him up amd put him in the other room away from me...if he comes back to bite or scratch again, I just repeat the same....consistency will help them learn...

He has gotten to the point that when I am holding him and he suddenly looks like he is going to bite...I give him "that look" and say NO BITING and he stops with his mouth open and just looks at me...then begins to lick...

hitting or anything will never work so please never ever hit your kitten...he needs to learn through positive reinforcement and redirections...

good luck!

tnx 4 ur help... I never actuallly hit him,i just do the same thing u do,when he doesnt behave and keeps hurting me and makin me bleed i just put him in the room and he makes noises lilbit and sleeps.....I do play with him alot and scratch under his chin which he loves alot.....but he still bites and scratches me lol.....and he scartched the whole couch.....you can see holes and dots,and usually when he takes a piss he acts crazy makes a noise and starts to run around the house really fast and jump on stuff....he was house kept since he was like 10days old.....never kept outdoors,the funny thing is he doesn't do any of these stuff to anyone else just me!!!when i go in the bathroom he comes sits behind the door and crys and trys to reach me from under the door lol

sounds like he's taken a liking to you. Some cats do this, gravitate toward one person. I'd recommend just refusing to play when he gets to scratching or biting, or distracting him with a toy and don't use your hands to ever play with him. You can clip his nails or have the vet's office clip them so they aren't so sharp. If you want to do it yourself have the vet's office show you the proper way and proper tools. Sounds like he just has a lot of energy to expend, which they usually do at that age.
