Kittens bite not to hurt but to play. Your kitten will likely grow out of this. Adult cats will also bite. Cats 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/she might bite you to tell you he/she doesn't 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 she acts when she's about to bite. Refrain from playing with her 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.

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.

Will your orphan kittens ever stop suckling each others genitals or must you separate them?
They will stop after they are about seven to nine weeks old. BUT, as soon as you see this happen, separate them IMMEDIATELY!! If not separated, the risk of inflammatory genitals increases and they will have to under go surgery which most of them do not survive. I lost a kitten this way.

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.

What do you do if you have a problem biting people?
Never, ever, ever yell. Dogs don't like it when you yell. Here's some tips... -Just say "ow!". Dogs could get suprised and stop biting for a bit. -Stop whatever you're doing with the dog and leave it alone. This causes the dog to think nipping "stops the fun", which no dog wants. -If the dog bites often, send her to her crate/someplace she won't escape from. Do this quickly, though, or the dog won't think she's going in the crate for nipping.
