It's wonderful to hear, LabRat. Keep being consistent with the times she bites you and I imagine that will be short-lived as well. :)

Also, make sure you document these times now, so that when she's old enough you can tell her boyfriend all about it and embarass her. :D

Good job! At this point, she's only biting with teeth. Just wait till she starts using biting sarcasm. :D

The funny part is that kittens respond best to a hiss. Squealing or saying "ouch!" is somewhat natural when you are bitten, but it takes a moment for me to remember I'm supposed to hiss at the kitten when she starts biting.

Oh, and not that it matters, but the reason I won't have kids: hearing even the slightest scream or screech out of one and I have the overwhelming, instinctual urge to back-hand the little twerp across the room. I restrain myself. :) I do ask to be seated away from small children in restaurants, when I have the option.
