I'm only just learning my kitten's nature as she has only been with us for 5 days (she is 4 months old).
To begin with she was playfull but very gentle and chilled out. NOW she is a loonatic!! She races around, attacks us, is finding her voice (which is a teeny tiny squeek, so cute! Sometimes a minute meow ) and will sit on our laps for some attention or curl up sleep. Never for a long period though. She then moves onto the sofa and stretches out.
She loves her tummy stroked and around her face, under her chin.
I hope she stops attacking soon as my 6 year old is now terrified of her, oops!
