Lightly scold and immediately ignore them when they are biting you. Kittens love attention, so a kitten will quickly learn that biting, scratching and other behaviours will get it ignored - so will stop such behaviour. NEVER hit your cat; this will just make it fearful of you. Cats respond poorly to negative reinforcement. Also, your kitten may be teething, so will be biting and chewing everything, no matter what you say or do. It is best to use soft toys, scrunched up paper balls, cardboard and even leather instead of your hands. These materials are soft and help relieve some discomfort in the kitten's gums.
Scratching and Biting.
You will have to train them to stop biting because changing their teeth is cruel to the cat or kitten.
Kittens bite not to hurt but to play. Kittens, especially those who have come away from their mother too young (6-8 weeks old; the ideal age is 12 weeks old) will play rough. Kittens usually bite when they're playing, trying to get your attention or warning you not to do something. For example if you scratch or rub your cats lower back he or she might bite you to tell you they do not like you doing that or just isn't in the mood for it. The best things to do is to learn your kitten's behaviour, especially how he or she acts when he or she's about to bite. Refrain from playing with the kitten with your hands and use toys instead. When your kitten bites, you can either try and distract her attention with a toy, or make your hand or arm completely limp. A kitten will quickly grow bored of unmoving "prey" and will let go. Ignoring the kitten for a few minutes afterwards will also help.

By giving you kittens enough things to claw with e.g. a scratching post, or several to put by the things the kitten scratches already. Praise him lots when he uses the post. You could also trim your kitten's nails if it gets too much.
Cats always scratch themselves at random times, but if your kitten is scratching itself too much, the powder could be causing the skin to be itchy. The flea powder could be effecting the fleas, causing the move around. If your kittens continues the scratching for more than one or two days or in the same place, check for a rash.
Leopards are very good at biting and scratching.
Biting, scratching, kicking. Like a cat.
