I bought a Persian kitten a week ago. She's 12 weeks old.I love her more then anything. She quite loving and plahful . always there to lick my face. But when ever I pet her she grabs my hand and starts biting me then stops licks for a while then gets back to biting. I tried to tell her no but she won't stop. I don't know what to do ? In a week mg arms are full of cuts and scratches. Should I cut the sharp edges of her nails ? She always stays inside the house

Your kitten is just playing
She's still learning and testing her limits, just like a Human toddler. She will eventually learn to stop clawing and biting you. Clipping her nails will help. Direct her attention to a safe toy to play with. Never use your hands as toys. I know there are cats toys that are bascially gloves with dangly things attached to the fingers but it just encourages your cat to play with hands, IMO.

Here are some other tips:
