White Healthy Towel
What does it mean if there are specks of blood on the white tissues that my 6-month old kitten was biting?

Today, my kitten was biting and scratching a roll of paper towels and when I took it away from him, I saw that there were a couple of specks of blood on them. To make sure that the bleeding came from him, I let him bite on a white towel, and sure enough, there were more new specks of blood. Does that mean his gums are bleeding? Everything else seems perfectly healthy with him. He's eating fine, playing actively, etc. However, he does seem to be biting me more; is this from the irritation in his gums maybe? I'm making an appt to the vet tomorrow for a checkup. I can't look into his mouth even when he's fast asleep because he hates it. Oh, and also, a week ago, he was biting on my white shirt and there were tiny specks of blood on it too, and it wasn't from me because I wasn't bleeding. I thought it was something he ate but it seems to be consistent. What's going on?

The cat's probably teething, which is why he is biting more and why there is blood on his gums.
