Mr. Piglet has entered a regrettable, but all too common, "bitey phase". Most kittens go through this phase, but some are worse than others, and Piglet is pretty bad. Any time his face is anywhere near one of my hands, he grabs it and starts gnawing. One strategy for dealing with this problem is redirection. I flip him over onto his back and stick his own hind paws or his tail in his face. He will usually bite them for a while.
Today, when he finally bored of his own toes and tail, I picked him up and stuck him in Darby's face, which diverted him for a while. Here you can see him gnawing on one of Darby's lips like a piece of bubble gum. (Don't worry, she likes it.)
Ewww, interspecies tongue kissing!!
