Also you can do what an adult cat would do which is gently bite him.
It is a form of correction that an adult cat would do to a kitten who
is getting over zellious. Hissing is another way to do it but it does
not have the impact a nip would another way is to use a squirtgun and
give the kitten a small dose of water everytime they nip you too hard.
Good luck with your new companion may he train you well. ;)
