Sometimes my kitten (6 months ish) will bite at my legs, through the covers, when I'm in bed. This happens sometimes when I'm lying in bed on the computer before bed. In those cases, I usually end up trying to get him to stop before remembering it's probably better to redirect to a toy and I grab something. However, it also happens when I'm trying to sleep such as very early this morning!
I know it's not food needs. He has constant access to dry food and water, and I only give him wet food at night. Trying to tell him "no" or yelp, hiss, etc. doesn't really do much. I ended up just putting him on the floor over and over again last night until he stopped. Of course I love to have him on my bed but not biting at my legs! It definitely seems like play behavior or attention seeking behavior; he's not out to harm, but it's still annoying! Thank goodness I love him, lol.
