Just got a new kitty, 13 weeks old. He's only been here a couple days now so I know he's still a little stressed out and missing his litter-mates. He doesn't like to be alone and starts meowing if I leave the room or not giving him enough attention/play.
When we go to bed in the evening he's *extremely* cuddly and loving - nuzzling our faces, purring and practically laying on top of our necks.
But when he wakes up again in the middle of the nigh and wants to play, he starts biting and chewing on me. When he does this during the day, I yelp as if he's really hurt me, or just a stern "no", and he will generally stop. But I don't want to do this at night as I don't want to wake hubby if he is asleep. So I just "kicked him out of bed" by placing him on the floor each time he bit me. But he simply jumped back up and continued until he eventually tired out and fell back asleep.
Is there anything else I can do to deter him from biting/playing in bed?
Also, is it safe to pick him up by the scruff when he's got a microchip?
