I would definitely give it a try.I can try lying down and see if she'll run over me with the toy today. I can already get her to run into and bounce against my legs, but I haven't tried actually getting her to go onto me in pursuit, since she's still a bit skittish. She still runs off if I walk directly at her (hiss, runs, comes back out 20 seconds later).
The 'coming back' is a very good sign.
And your goal is to get your kitten to accept human touch.
You will have to get her used to this, since she will need to go to the Vets, need all her shots, spay, flea meds, etc.
Plus, when you said you picked her up, while weighing her, and she hissed, squirmed, meowed,....this was a total normal reaction.
If you have to weigh her again, try to pick her up in her 'cat blanket'....she may feel more secure in this.
And put down one of your worn shirts near her, when she sleeps out on her cat bed, cat tree, etc.
Have a great day with her.
