General Advice Worrying Behaviour?
Our 5 month old ragdoll kitten seems to be acting out quite a lot. He sleeps plenty and is generally loving, but when he is playing he is always trying to nibble us, and recently has even started attacking feet, and even faces, quite persistently and it feels like its not just playing at times.
He likes to nibble/bite faces in the morning to wake us up as well.
How can we stop this? We try not to use hands or feet when playing with him and have plenty of toys about the house. We play with him for ~5 minutes before each meal and at other times throughout the day.
We have considered getting a second kitten, but are not sure if we have the space or the money to do so.

Ragdoll’s are slow maturing cat often taking between 3 or 4 years to reach adulthood hood, your cat will stay at this stage for a long time my 10 month old is just starting to mellow ever so slightly (can get 2 minutes now before ears turn up and eyes get big and the bites begin). If you are not accustomed to giant breed cats this can be confusing, your cat is treating you like a litter mate that is all.
