She will grow out of it wear slippers for a while, until she forgets about wriggly toes; all the time you are pulling your toes away and maybe squealing when she nips them she will think it's a game.
Baby-Kitten is right about the tone of your voice as well. Your kitten doesn't hate you. I have a cat that will not tolerate being stroked for long and is likely to turn on you if you try. I used to wait until my cat was having one of those rare moments when they zonk out and just gently scratch him on the top of the head or behind the ear. say goodnight in a soft silly voice and leave him alone. I repeated this when he used to wake up (before hyperactivity set in) and talk to him in the same voice when putting his food down scratch his head again then leave him in peace. Now it doesn't matter where he is in the house I only have to talk in the voice and within seconds he is rubbing around my legs wanting his head and neck scratched. My cat is now 6yrs old and he still doesn't like being stroked but he is so affectionate.
Don't worry she is just being a kitten they grow out of it so quickly (although they will always have the odd moment of madness)
Have just gone through the whole naughty kitten phase. You have my full sympathies!
The ONLY thing I found that worked in discipling my kittens was giving them a gentle squirt of water from a water mister bottle (the type you can buy from a garden centre). The water never actually hurts them, but gives them enough of a shock that it stops them in their tracks. If my kittens play up now all I have to do is show them the bottle and hey presto - my angellic kittens return!
This is a basic psychology technique that has been well documented.
Good luck!
