I have a 8 and half weeks old kitten. He sometimes tries to attack my hand or my feet. How can i deal with him? One more thing is it normal for him to sometimes get crazy and keep running around the house with his paws/nails always out and trying to bite everything in his way?

He's just being a kitten. He's not "attacking" your hands and feet, he's trying to play with you. He sounds perfectly normal.

Kittens often get what I call 'spastic attacks' and run around the house. They grow out of it in time.

As for attacking hands and feet, the best way to prevent it is to redirect their attention to an appropriate toy. Keep stuffed cat toys, climbing areas and hanging toys to bat at hand to amuse and give the kitten exercise.

You have a purr-fectly normal kitten there. Play with him more. Toss toys around so he attacks them instead of you. Get a laser toy and have him chase the red spot around until he is tired. Just don't let him bite you. Say "No" and push his head away firmly. He'll grow up into a fine, loving cat.

No nothing wrong with him. Lot of people call that the 4:00 crazies. He is playing. That is how kittens play. It is part of their growing up to be hunters and predators.

He's a kitten. They play hunt and use their humans as prey. When he goes into pyscho mode and starts sprinting around he's just burning off energy. Play with him when he's in both of those modes. He'll burn the energy off quicker and before you know it be curled up somewhere napping.

It's called playing..maybe you need to find some toys that it can play with..maybe something that hangs and wiggles.
By the time it matures it will get to a point that it sleeps all day and not do anything..like a child..enjoy while you can.

Isidore did this til I got him a brother. He just has a lot of energy and wants to play. Get a dangle toy or something he can chase. My fuzzies like the foil balls you get at petstores

leave that cute baby be.....he is just happy, healthy, energetic, and excited...what more could you ask for? I feel so sad when I hear about lethargic kittens...you have a cute live wire. Enjoy him and love him...he will settle as he gets older.

All he is doing is playing with you. When he is running like crazy he is just running off his energy
