Run after it and bite it back.

gently thump him and say a firm no.. over several attemps it will get the idea it's a kitten thing. just being playful

Caution, this can be missunderstood.
The cat is testing the waters.who is in charge. You or the cat. Right now the cat considers you it's equal.
Retaliating is the only answer, but can you do it?
Get on it's level and bite back? It only takes once, and bitten, the cat will realise it is not the boss.
Reccomend declawing first///////////////

let it outgrow being a kitten.the same as you let a baby outgrow being a baby.

---

it is just doing what kittens do and pleas don't declaw your cat there is no good reason for it that training can not stop

while it IS just being a kitten.. you can take toenail clippers you use for yourself and just take some of the tip off the kittens claws.. keeps him from laying open flesh when he isn't being mean. They can't help it sometimes. MUCH easier and cheaper than declawing! Usually best when he's in a sleepy mood. Start getting him used to that by extending his claws and touching his feet while sleeping.. then the clippers won't scare it.. less likely to run off if they trust you. you could also get another cat.. he'd have someone else to play w/.

Kittens are not much different from babies. I have a 6 week old kitten and need to remind myself of that. Look in your cats mouth, you will notice that not all teeth are there. Like babies, they're teething and feel the need to chew.
Keep a spray bottle of water near by. When your kitten is misbehaving, weather biting on you, or what not, spray him. I do the same with mine, it's starting to have an effect.
Also, like children, try turning their attention to something else. I have a toy called a "teaser" that my kitten loves playing with and chewing on. It's just a bunch of feathers on a stick and she loves it!

For godsakes ..u dont have to do anything ,
its a cat not a tiger.

He / she is just playing. A lot of kittens do that..

A spray bottle of water goes a long way. Even a squirt gun. A few squirts and they get the idea. All I have to do is touch my cats spray bottle and he stops immediately. Doesn't work when he gets curious about my python though, he had to learn that lesson the hard way. Good thing I was there.
