How can you get your Kitten to stop biting you AND Am I teaching her wrong by letting her nibble my fingers?
Kittenkitten
Once you let her play with you, you are like a toy that she owns so you must be the pack leader. If she gets used to nibbling your fingers and sees no pain or harm through this she may start biting or scratching you. One of the ways to stop her from biting you is to just quickly tap her on the nose when she bites so the nose is very sensitive. if there is still further biting, stand up lean over her so she is looking up to you and walk towards it she will start to walk backwards but it is normal. It means you have overpowered over her. If she starts nibbling your leg, put the whole palm of your hand on her nose, Repeat these processes. Eventually they will get the idea.

How do you train a biting and playful kitten?
Lightly scold and immediately ignore them when they are biting you. Kittens love attention, so a kitten will quickly learn that biting, scratching and other behaviours will get it ignored - so will stop such behaviour. NEVER hit your cat; this will just make it fearful of you. Cats respond poorly to negative reinforcement. Also, your kitten may be teething, so will be biting and chewing everything, no matter what you say or do. It is best to use soft toys, scrunched up paper balls, cardboard and even leather instead of your hands. These materials are soft and help relieve some discomfort in the kitten's gums.
What do you do if your kitten is biting itself?
Like in cleaning itself? My cats do that, they find a part of their fur that is "unclean" and they bite at it, then lick it clean. They don't draw blood though, so if your cat is hurting itself by biting all the time, or drawing blood; you should take your cat the vet and have it checked out. Or, it may be because of fleas, the cat maybe biting itself to itch where the fleas are.

How do I get my 3 month old kitten to stop biting my fingers?
Kittens bite not to hurt but to play. Kittens, especially those who have come away from their mother too young (6-8 weeks old; the ideal age is 12 weeks old) will play rough. Kittens usually bite when they're playing, trying to get your attention or warning you not to do something. For example if you scratch or rub your cats lower back he or she might bite you to tell you they do not like you doing that or just isn't in the mood for it. The best things to do is to learn your kitten's behaviour, especially how he or she acts when he or she's about to bite. Refrain from playing with the kitten with your hands and use toys instead. When your kitten bites, you can either try and distract her attention with a toy, or make your hand or arm completely limp. A kitten will quickly grow bored of unmoving "prey" and will let go. Ignoring the kitten for a few minutes afterwards will also help. Kittens love attention, so a kitten will quickly learn that biting, scratching and other behaviours will get it ignored - so will stop such behaviour. NEVER hit your cat; this will just make it fearful of you. Cats respond poorly to negative reinforcement.
