Answer
Dawar,

You need a kitty friend for your kitten. He is lonely and when he has a chance to be with you he wants attention and he is trying to get it the only way he knows how.

Do not be upset at him, he is young. Have patience. It is like a 3 year old child locked outside all day by himself.

If he had a another kitty to play with and snuggle with he wouldn't need your attention so much. Also he is probably hungry and he is trying to stop you so you can feed him. To help that, keep a bowl of dry food filled up outside with some water so he can nibble when he gets hungry.

Give him lots of love and attention and love....he's just a baby. Or give him to someone during the day who has time to spend with him.

In your search bar (google?) type: Kittens that bite

And variations of that, and you will get a lot of articles on how to get kittens not to bite (without being mean to them or locking them outside).
