My 7mth old kitten Michael not only "nips" at me but he also tries to comb my hair with his claws! Normally when I am sleeping. The problem I have with that is that my skin is really thin and cant handle it well. I just use "liquid bandage" or "new skin" (has antiseptic in it) on the small nicks and he hates the smell of it! That has slowed him down some.
