keep it up with the water bottle but you might just have to wait it out, he's being a kitten and will calm down in time.

Show him who's boss! My cat used to be like that when he was little, and I would grab him and restrain him and bop him on the nose, lightly but enough to piss him off, while saying things like "don't bite." Now, if I so much as point at him he knows he's been bad and whines. (he doesnt act abused or anything, he's a perfectly normal cat who loves me to death, but he's now the most obedient cat I've ever seen)

Go here for cat behaviour articles: http://www.fabcats.org/behaviour_kitten.html BTW, this is normal kitten behaviour - he's honing his skills by practising on you in the absence of another feline. Go and get some cat toys for him to play with. Do not do the noise-tapping thing. If he has toys to attack then this will teach him that humans are not to be bitten etc. Treat him gently. Do not squirt water at him. Play with him using his toys (get ping-pong balls to throw or tie a piece of newspaper to a long piece of string and he will chase it - they particularly like things which are pulled around corners or out of site). Never play with him using your hands. When he attacked you on the sofa he was practising stalking and hunting. He will attack you when you are in bed, especially if you move your foot about underneath the covers. He will also practising walking sideways and standing fur up on you in an effort to appear suitably scary. Don't discipline him like a sergeant major - the feline brain is not advanced. You will end up with an anxious, stressed little animal. He needs somebody to play with and at 11 months, he should be allowed outside by now. If all this does not appeal to you, get another kitten and they will do all of this together.

Maybe he is bored? This is pretty normal cat behavior, but you can kind of channel it into more appropriate targets. Do you have lots of toys for him to play with/attack? Things for him to scratch/sharpen claws on? Do you take time out just to play with him for a little while every day? Also, is he an only kitten? Kittens together will entertain themselves all day. Maybe a friend would help. It would depend of course on if you wanted another cat, and you'd have to introduce them to each other, but your current kitten might be happier this way.

That cat has a lot of moxie, and I would like to have one just like him. He is healthy, vigorous, and normal. Have fun with him.

Does the kittne have toys he can play with? If he is one of siblings, you may want to get in contact with his siblings' owners and see if they're having problems. Try discussing the kitten's temperament with his vet. Also, try some dog-training techniques - they may be different species, but they're still able to learn - cats more than dogs if anything given their higher level of intelligence. Also, try putting him in a room where he can't attack anything - or if you need to, a crate till he settles down - then if he's let out and acts up, then back into the crate etc till he learns.
