She doesn't do this to my boyfriend...Only to me. I'll be sitting there at the computer, and she'll jump on my foot, wrap her legs around my ankle, and try to bite down on my foot or leg. I push her away with my foot and say "No!" really firmly, but it doesn't seem to phase her. She just tries again. I end up having to put her in another room. Is there anything I can do to make her stop doing this? And why would she only do this to me? Thanks.

And sometimes, I do try to pick her up. But then she tries to bite my hand. Lol...

Get a brand new spray bottle, fill it with water and set it next to you. Every time she does it, spritz her with it. It is also a good method to teach cats not to jump on tables, etc. Sounds like she's jealous and wants your attention. However, being a cat, she won't like getting wet.

She's wanting you to get off the computer and pay some attention to her. Simple fact she is jealous of you and the computer.
They make several different brands of cat repellent to keep cats from getting on the chairs etc. You might try buying that and spraying on the floor around your computer.
Or get her a scratching post and put it next to your computer and sprinkle cat nip all around it.
Or just pick her up and put her in your lap.

Squirt bottle - a little spritz of water in the face when she does it. She will get the point, and it won't hurt her. My boy cat needed this little incentive to stop overzealous playfulness.

This is her sign of I want you to play with me and give me some attention. She loves you and wants your love.
