Recently I let an orange cat, about 7-8 months old, in the house because its cold outside and one of her canines (I am assuming baby/milk teeths) was missing. But he is so full of energy, he is more interested in playing with my hands and feet instead of eating. I would have been okay with it if it wasn't for the bloody (literal) scratches.
I have tried things like spraying him with water but he really isn't bothered by water (atleast made giving him bath easy). When he scratches my hands/trousers/feet while playing I leave the room and come back after 10-15 mins. But as soon as I enter the room he is at it again. I have tried pretend screaming, crying but nothing works.
Any suggestions for how to stop him from using claws and biting or just simply stopping him from playing with any part of the body.
p.s, when I lift him up and he wants to get down he uses his back paws to kick my hands but doesn't use claws. Claws only come out while playing.
