Question
I HAVE A MALE KITTY 6-8 MONTHS OLD HE ISNT FIXED OR ANYTHING 40%OUTDOORS KITTY WHEN HE CUDDLES WITH ME SOMETIMES HE LIKES TO NIP AT MY FINGERS IT DOESNT HURT BUT I AM WORRIED HE WILL BITE HARD ONE DAY  WHY IS THIS ALSO HE LIKES TO SUCKEL ON MY HUSBANDS EAR WHEN YOU TRY TO CORRECT THIS HE DOES WHAT HE PLEASES UNTIL HE IS FINISHED VERY PERSISTENT KITTY

Answer
the suckling is natural and he will outgrow it,you see normally he would still be nursing on his mother. the finger biting is just little love nips. its nothing really, dont discourage it, dont react badly and dont encourage it. take it for what it is and ignore it. he may for the rest of his life nip at youw hen you show him affection. i have an adult female that does this. its just how some cats show their love for you.
