Noooooo! Never encourage cats to see hands as toys! I’ve been watching “My Cat From Hell” recently, and so many “vicious” cats have a guardian who thinks roughhousing their cat is a good idea, but can’t understand why their cat attacks everyone else. Once they get into a routine of using appropriate toys to play with the cat, suddenly the cat stops attacking everyone else.

Ugh my dad did that with my parents’ cat. I absolutely love and adore her and she’s a great cat but she doesn’t understand that scratching and biting us hurts us.

My mom’s cat has learned that gloves = OK to claw, bare hands = no, improved from just clawing all the time. So, some cats may be able to learn correct context.
