My Cat Keeps Biting My Hands — Stop Using Force to Correct It
The moment a cat goes to bite your hand, pull back and stop all interaction, then give it 10–15 minutes alone to calm down.

Never use your hands as toys — switch to a long wand teaser — and for teething kittens, swap some wet food for dry kibble plus dental chews.
