Will Bite You

How do you teach a kitten not to bite?
My kitten nibbles on my fingers when I play with it. And I am afraid she will bite harder as she gets older.
First, don’t use your hands or fingers for play. Kittens naturally bite when they play with each other. If you play with your hands, you end up teaching her to bite you. Second, when she bites, say “No Bite” in a stern voice and put her down or stop giving her attention for a few minutes. Kittens naturally want to please you (if you have good relationship with them)–you just have to let her know what is not acceptable.
