Angel seems to grow up very fast and she can be very naughty - jumping all over the place, biting my ankles or hands or so very adorable with her purring, rubbing and snuggling.
You've got to nip that biting problem quick before it settles into a routine. A firm "NO" from you/other family members and extracting her teeth/claws from your ankles will help. But it takes some time before she will get the message. Better now than bites and scratches for the next 15 years.
yup, biting is a trait that develops when kittens are separated young from mother n siblings and have not been "taught" to play nicely.
one of my foster kittens was like that too. he was found alone when he was only one mth old. very sweet in every way but wld attack my hand with bites and scratches smthg terrible. no amt of "No!" or hissing at him cat-style worked. and then he was sdopted! hopefully he will learn to stop or grow out of it. :)

She looks like she is growing up well. :)

We do tell her firmly "No biting" and she will stop and target another area of our ankle or hands. Haha.
Haha...kittens are like that. It takes some time to drill it into them.
But so far, my cats have never tried attacking our hands or ankles, even when they were kittens.
My XX does bite though. But they are always love bites. She will lick our hands then give it a soft bite and hold before releasing.
It's time to acquire a playmate for Angel. =)
