My kitten is really frustrating me and I wanted to see if its normal for his age.
He's about 3-4 months, I've had him since he was 3-4 weeks. He never shows me any affection except meowing for food, and the only time he interacts with me at all involves him attacking my hands and feet.
I've told him NO, hissed at him, tapped him on the head, scruffed him (more on that later), shoved him away, everything I could think of. I love him, but its maddening because I didn't get a cat to be scratched up all day long. 
Today I was laying in bed and in running around he must have been trying to jump over my head or something, but he managed to scratch my lower eyelid. Time for a nail trim! Of course his natural reaction is to bite me while I'm trimming them so I scruff him, and he does his normal reaction to being scruffed. Screaming, twisting, scratching, biting, making godawful noises and acting like I was killing him. He was such a brat, I couldn't even 'burrito wrap' my own kitten to get the nails done.
Is this normal? Does anyone have any suggestions? I keep telling him he's working towards a one way ticket to the pound. (Its not true, and he knows it. haha)
