    I am having trouble with the Kittens doing this too.Try diverting her attention with a toy.
    If she grabs your hand make a noise like a Hurt Cat and they will generally stop.
    A Little water splashed will cool off the biting too.

    I agree with catmandu, distract her with a toy. Also, make sure you don't "play" with your hands and make them look like toys to her. I have a 6 month old kitten, and my husband is always forgetting and making his hands into toys by moving them around so she wants to pounce on them. I have to constantly remind him not to.

    I love my precious kittens and I hope they have long and happy lives filled with love.

    Cats and dogs arent pets, theyre family members that need the same respect as humans. Would you dump your children out in the countryside to fend for themselves??

    Well, her new kitten buddy will really help cut down on that. They'll wrestle and learn that if they bite, the other will bite back, and they figure out pretty quick that it HURTS. then they stop.

    As for scratching get some nail clippers and trim her nails, The younger you start the easier it is. Just make sure to only take off the pointy end, or else you might cut off too much and hit the vein that is inside the nail and make her bleed.

    I never pick up Miquelito or Pouncierge as I have found that most Kittens do not care to be picked up,as you are a Giantess to them.
