    She is just playing. She is imagining your hands and feet as pray. Or she is teething. My cat still does that today, nothing to get all worked up about.

    If you got your kitten younger then 10-12 weeks old, its what they would be doing with littermates and learning bounderies with them. You are the substitute.

    But you can stop her by first clipping nails on a weekly basis, and saying NO and hissing at her when she bites your hands/feet. As she gets older she will stop the behavior.

    Also be sure she is spayed by 4 months old - kittens as young as 4 months can and do breed and she will die if she gets pregnant at this age.

  • usally it means they r just trying 2 play because it wants 2 or maybe because it is teething.... becaiuse there teeth are growing so thats prolley y or because it is not that use 2 going without milk still and it is tryin 2 suck on fingers or toes 2 get some but soon they will stop but they do that 2 let u n o they r hungry 4 milk. thats pretty much all the reasons y they would do that, cause shes playin or tethinng or wants milk

    You're kitten wants you're attention She or he is just playing with you. The kitten is young and you will have to teach her how to play with you. Hanging toys will help too.

    Shes playing with you. Thats what a cat in the wild would do to its prey. But all the same I think you should get her out of the habbit.

    its a kitten! thats what they do. They're playing, not actually trying to hurt you. all cats do that.
