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.

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.
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.
It keeps the Buffalo Gnats from biting ... but not anything else...
To stop a guinea pig from biting, try to determine the cause of the behavior. It could be due to fear, stress, or feeling territorial. Ensure your guinea pig has a comfortable and safe environment, handle them gently, and provide positive reinforcement for good behavior. If the biting continues, consult with a veterinarian or animal behaviorist for further guidance.

Yes, my kitten has bitten me before. When it happens, I gently say "no" and redirect their attention to a toy or scratching post. It's important not to punish the kitten, as they may not understand why they are being punished. Consistent positive reinforcement and training can help prevent future biting incidents.
To teach your cat to stop biting, you can use positive reinforcement by rewarding good behavior with treats or toys, and redirecting their biting to appropriate toys. Consistency and patience are key in training your cat to stop biting.

Cats love to play. You'll want to teach your kitten to not use its claws or teeth when playing. Basically, you pull away and stop playing whenever it shows signs of using its teeth or claws, until it calms down. See the referenced link below for more detail.
