Hello! Thank you for posting your question! This behavior of biting or teething can be normal in puppies and kittens. Most puppies and kittens will grow out of this Behavior overtime. I would suggest getting lots of toys for your kitten to chew and play with to help deter this Behavior. When you are playing with the kitten and she starts biting you grab a toy to redirect her and see if that helps. I hope this helps! Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns you may have!

I do recommend the scourging this behavior so that it doesn't become a problem as jinx gets older. Some pet stores do actually have teething type treats for kittens and try using toys and wants to play with Jinx instead of your hands. Petting and cuddling is fine but if or when he decides it's time to attack your hands substitute a toy. Have fun with your baby thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
