Kittens often play-bite as part of their natural development, but it's important to redirect this behavior early on. Avoid using your hands as toys; instead, consistently offer appropriate toys like wand toys or kickers. When your kitten bites, immediately stop interaction and withdraw your hand, perhaps with a soft 'ouch.' This teaches them that biting makes the fun stop. Positive reinforcement with treats and praise for appropriate play is very effective.
