Cat Behavior

This might be his way of playing or your starling him and his reaction is to run. See what he is doing before he bolts and if it seems like he is startled keep him in a different room. I think he is being startled and his reaction is to run crazy.

Cat Behavior

Cradle them in a towel, one at a time, sort of like swaddling them. Have their body wrapped up loose enough they can move a little bit and their front paws and head out of the towel so you can pet them, and they can breathe. They may sense that your are apprehensive about holding them and that could probably make them nervous. Swaddling them helps give them the security they need.

Cat Behavior

That could be true from the first answer however the kitten is young and could possibly be just teething. Our cats teethed up to 6 months and lost their kitten teeth much like a human child. I would suggest buying a big squishy non-squeaky toy that he/she can chew on and likes to chew on to ease the discomfort and your hands.
