Get her something to bite, a stuffed animal almost her size would be good. And a cardboard box to chew on and play in. You will have to redirect her attention and teach her to bite those things instead. Does she mostly bite during playtime or does she try to chew on u?

Hi, I'm sorry that you're going through this. Kittens do tend to teeth around that age and will bite anything, but it's important to intervene at that point. Have you tried carrying a toy with you when you're in the home? Have your family do it as well and when she starts biting, redirect her to the toy. I've also tried "stopping play" to teach them eventually that biting means game is over. Anyhow, I hope it resolves itself.

she is really moody I guess ..mostly violent

and doesnt like anyone near her or touching

her when she wants the "me" time..

so shes mostly a grumpy violent playfull kitten!

were spraying water at her when she does it..

but it works for half a second then shes biting

again ..today she ran to eat my feet! it was scary!

she actualy dug her teeth in my leg!!!

Im hoping she gets out of this phase soon..

How much and how often are you playing with her?
Spraying doesn't work. I would stop that. It often frustrates cats more and can make them fearful and aggressive.
And is she spayed?
