Then push him away and do not give attention for a while. It worked.

I THINK IT IS CUTE (UNTIL IT HURTS OF COURSE) BUT I WILL TELL THEM NO AND SLAP THEM ON THE NOSE. AS WITH THE DOG I DO NOT KNOW???? MAYBE IT IS A PHASE.

Is he biting hard? Does he break skin? If not, it's a cats way to play. Watch them in a litter, it's what they do. They bite at each other. They don't understand that our hides aren't as thick as their's, and we don't have the fur. So, if that's the case he'll outgrow it (will still bite from time to time when very playful, but not a regular occurance). Last option, he's still a kitten. Maybe he's trying to shed his baby teeth.

It has to be at the time the offensive act is committed. Cats hate water and this will help teach it not to do those things. Good luck! Spray it with a water bottle every time it does something bad.

Not saying its the best way but it sure as hell did get results. That cat would see us go for the bottle and he would take off :-)))) My grandmother use to keep a spray bottle filled with water to shoot the cat every time he has naughty.

Just play with him. If it persists everytime he bits you hit him on his nose and yell at him for doing it. He will stop eventually. That is how i got my cat from sleeping on my bed.
