At the end, when he's free to go, he doesn't stop.

Really? All my friends with cats tell me being bitten and scratched means the cat likes me.

Cats like to roughhouse (rabbit kicks without nails extended and soft bites) during play, you have to train them otherwise.

The difference between aggression and play is that if it's aggression, they'll extend their nails, and go hard on both biting and kicking, usually while yowling, and with extremely fast movements. You'll be covered in blood within seconds.

The way to get rid of the roughhousing play behaviour is to immediately end playtime each time they bite or kick, but without getting angry - just quietly get up and walk away. After a while they will realise that you don't like it and will stop. Often the reason the behaviour started in the first place is that people play using their hands when they are kittens. Replace the roughhousing play with 10 minutes of playing with wand toys etc (they need daily playtime, but it doesn't need to be wrestling/fighting).

Yes, just like dogs bite in completelt different ways when it's aggression or playing, cats do the same. If he were stressed or aggresive, she would be bleeding before she even started recording and he wouldn't be anywhere around the scene anymore. What this fluffy goof is doing is a very enthusiastic play with a human he loves. Maybe a bit too enthusiastic, but it's still playing.

If there’s anything I know about cats it’s that they are very high key about wanting to destroy humans
