Kloe sounds like a fairly normal kitten. When kittens play with other kittens, they bite......and the OTHER kitten lets them know what is too hard or too rough. (was Kloe taken from her family at a VERY early age?) Does Kylie play with Kloe? (if not then Kloe does not have an "outlet" for all her kitten energy)
They WILL grow out of it if you do not reward the behavior now. If she attacks your hand when you pet her, hold a nice sized toy when you go toward her so she grabs that. If she bites you, stop petting and ignore..... Be patient but persistant. As far as biting objects that are under the covers, they ALL do that. It will fade.
As for the scratching post training, that is exactly what it is....training. They don't automatically know where is the correct place. Besides chasing from inappropriate spots, MOVE her to a good spot. Put the scratching post in a different place. Get more posts, and different types. Put catnip on them to attract attention. Use double sided sticky tape or aluminim foil on areas she is NOT suppose to scratch (but does) as a deterant. Keep the nails SHORT. every 2 weeks while she is a kitten, every month as an adult.
And remember, you have a tortie....VERY strong personaities!!! YOU have to be MORE persistant than her.
