It all depends on age if it is very young it might be trying to nurse if it’s older then it’s probably teething but cats attack anything that moves so it might just be playing with your thumbs because it thinks they are toys.

how young/old is the kitten? If it is very young, it may be nursing. If it is older, it may be teething.

He is either nursing teeth or he’s hungry and is to lazy to go to his food bowl.
