Why does my kitten bite me for no reason?

Kittens Need to Bite Something The reason kittens bite us is simple: they’re natural predators and they want to practice their attack on a moving object. In fact, kittens are biologically wired to attack an object that moves, so it’s important to teach them how to play with toys–not fingers or feet–from a young age.

How do you get my kitten to stop attacking me?
