Apparently, telling the Mother that kittens bite wasn’t reassuring enough and Jazzy has been returned to me. She has been vaccinated and is with a friend of mine for about 30 days just to be safe. I guess the youngest went to pick her up and she bit her and the Mother had a tantrum and decided to contact me and tell me that if I didn’t come and get this kitten (Siamese) she was going to take her over to Greenhill Humane Society and turn her in! No way is this kitten who has been previously mistreated going to even spend an hour in a shelter- so she is back with us now (so to speak). She is not the same loving kitten I turned over to the family, so there is no telling what she has really been through.

Good thing she did not bite the mother – the cat would have died from nasty human poisoning compounded by a high level of nonsense in the woman’s blood.
It sounds like Jazzy wasn’t treated with much respect. A cat won’t bite if it has nothing to fear. Let’s hope Jazzy can learn about kindness again from you and your friend.
We hope Jazzy recovers from her time in what must have been a unpleasant place. Some people just really have trouble with logic and common sense.
Frankly, I would probably be more worried if a kitten DIDN’T bite, at least occasionally.
