Can a kitten bite a lot because they are teething? What age does teething happen/finish? Smokey has been biting a LOT recently. He is almost 5 months old...He attacks hands and ankles and bites. I've tried gently scruffing and laying him on his back and I've tried ignoring him... And he still continues to bite.. Other than that he's very sweet and affectionate... Is this normal for kittens his age?
