Kittens often bite hands during play because they haven't learned appropriate play boundaries. It's crucial to redirect this behavior by using toys like wand toys or kickers, ensuring your hands are never seen as prey. When your kitten bites, immediately stop playtime, withdraw your hand, and ignore them for a few minutes. This teaches them that biting results in an end to fun. Consistency is key, and never punish your kitten, as this can lead to fear or aggression.
