He may not want to go in litter boxes because the other cats may have marked them. But it IS good he has role models. Play with him alot. He won't want to go outside as much. He might be nursing so the chewing... he'll grow out of that. Diet change. gas. Or the gas might be genetic or whatever i'm going through right now. it doesn't hurt, so don't worry about him. btw amy lynn, wtf???

Keep some scented spray such as febrese when he farts, when kittens bite you the are just wanting to play just like puppies. You expect this kitten to be perfect and potty trained. When you have a kitten you have to wake up AT LEAST 3-4 times a night and feed it, that is why it wakes you up. He will get potty trained (In Time) That is like asking you to be potty trained when you are 12-16 weeks old. Still wearing diapers because you don't have the knowledge correct?? You need to be taught and the kitten isn't big enough yet, PATIENCE!! Having a kitten requires allot of work.
As for the pooping, You can buy a little round pen that is for puppies and kitties, put some newspaper, or a blanket, whatever you want under it... because the kitten will be pooping and peeing in there. Most of all the kitten will STAY in there and not get in trouble, this really is the best way to go. You can purchase the round gate at wal-mart, petco, and petsmart.
Good Luck and God Bless

When I first took my 8 week kitten home, she wasn't quite litter trained - for one, at the time she had a broken leg, and couldn't quite get into the litter box. I put newspaper under the box, and had just a little bit of litter in the box. If she had gone somewhere other than the newspaper when I got home from work, I would take her over to it, push her nose in it, and say no. Then I would pick up the turd with a plastic bag, and put in in the litter pan. While I cleaned the litter pan regularly, I would try to leave one turd, so she would know that was where they belonged. If I was home and I saw her headed for a corner, I would chase her around with a squirt gun, not letting her rest to do her business until she got into the box (or onto the newspaper). Once she had done her business, I would pick her up, praise her, pet her, and give her a treat. After one week, she always used the box. Once I went on vacation and left a friend in charge. Said friend did not change the box for two weeks, and it was muy nastio - but she never went anywhere else!
Also, unless you plan on breeding, you should fix your kitten as soon as possible. Adult males will spray (piss) to mark their territory, and if they are fixed after they start spraying, they won't stop.
Happy litter training!

How many litter boxes do you have? The older cats you already have may be occupying it too often for him to get the chance enough. They may have marked it so he doesn't wanna go there.
I'd make sure to have at least 2 boxes and actually walk him up to it and put him in and move his paws in it to show him that the litter moves. Anytime you catch him in the act in the bathtub, immediately put him in the litterbox and do the same thing.
As for peeing on plastic bags - I'd keep bags away from him but I'd try the above method for when you catch him peeing as well.
As for the biting yuor face, lol, that is actually cute :). He's just being a playful kitten. I would just say no and kick him off the bed when he does it. Usually when you make a loud noise cats stop what they are doing to stare at you...
Good luck

Since the kitten is determined to go into the bathroom to do his business, try toilet training him. Any cat who is old enough to go in a litter box is old enough to be toilet trained. The first step is to get the cat in the bathroom so you already have that covered.
Just put a plastic bag between the porcelain and the seat and fill it with litter. Show the cat the litter, and in time, the kitten should get the hint...it may also help that it is a plastic bag since your cat likes to pee on bags.
After the cat has been going in the bag for awhile, decrease the litter little by little until you remove the bag entirely.

Rae gave you very good suggestions for the pooping and the peeing...if I were you, I would follow these suggestions.
As for the farting, the food he eats is probably a large part of this problem. Feeding him dry food (quality dry food) should decrease this from happening compared to wet food, but if you're already feeding him dry food, then I don't know, maybe he's eating too much????
Also, if the only liquid he's drinking is milk, try to include water in his diet. Milk should only be consumed by small kittens (preferrably their mother's milk), after this they should drink only water for the rest of their lives.

i'd take her to the vet. in case you spot sparkling blood contained in the stool and round her bum its no longer inner yet there will be an complete type of aspects and in problem-free words a vet can somewhat inform you what to do. She ought to easily be having a demanding time going or a demanding time digesting the nutrients she is eating, even with the undeniable fact that it will be something else too. when you're concerned you're annoying too a lot, call the vet and note what he/she exhibits you do.
