we have this kitten that sleeps in our bedroom. We found him as a wild kitten, the taming process has gone much better since we moved him into our bedroom. We tried briefly to introduce him to rooms other than the bedroom, but he gets scared and retreats to the bedroom. So we cannot lock him out of our bedroom while we are sleeping, since it would scare him a lot and mess up his taming process.
But in the middle of the night he gets all crazy hyper and wants to bite things. Normally, I am happy to play with him, but he is biting and scratching my hand. If I tuck my hands under me, he goes after my arm. How can I stop this? I can't sleep when this is going on.
My husband said bop him on the nose w/ your finger when he does it, but any attempts at bopping are interpreted as playing. Mom said do not ever play with him w/ hands, b/c he should learn hands are not toys, but I think it is bonding to play w/ him. He does not bite hard. He just does not know when play time is over.
