Annoyed or Playing?

I was playing/rubbing/giving scratches to Leiki earlier today. She was purring up a storm then grab my hand with her paws and lick for a bit, then bite lightly, and then scratch her back feet on my arm with her claws in. She'd do that for about 30 seconds, then go back to licking, then go back to just letting me scratch/pet her. She was purring the entire time and looked like she was enjoying herself.

Is that play or was she annoyed with my scratching?

She was probably overstimulated. Your pets did feel good, but it was too much for her to handle. She was pushing you away to say she'd had all the loving she could handle at that moment

Ok, next time she does it I'll lay off the scratching/petting for a bit. It was kind of funny, I would scratch her tummy lightly like you tickle a baby and baby talk her and she'd just roll around on her back purring and "smiling".

She's still just a baby (10 months) and still very new here (she's only been here for 2 days).
