Yes he could be teething. This behavior is common in young kittens. Please keep him in a safe place where he can’t chew on electric cords. He should be less bitey as he grows up. Make sure you play with him with a laser light or toy on a string so your hands aren’t available to bite. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Salam.
