I think kittens love to play, if she isn't really scratching you don't need to be so worried

Yes. When we pet our cats its like rubbing your foot back and forth on a carpet in the winter. It produces static electricity. It's sort of like that for the cat so, they get excited. By biting its their way of saying, OK, thank you but I've had enough.

when your hand moves you cat thinks it's pray.
when she clews or bite just say a stern no and take her off of you, give her something else to play with.
when ever my cat bites i tell her no and she stops right away she usually tries to bite again that's when i say a little louder she gets up and move to another place in the house until she calms down.

Look at pictures of kittens with their mothers - trying to cling to you is the kitten showing affection.

kittens like to play with anything that moves like your hand.
just gently tell the kitten no and squirt a little water on her /him it will get the massage.

She is trying to pet you back, I think. She wants to play with you!

It depends on how old your kitten is if under 6 months it will be normal because she/he is getting used to you. does that answer your question??

She's just playing with you, but don't let her do or or she'll think it's ok. When she starts to stratch you, stop petting her.
