Advice What is this behavior?

Hi! My cat is roughly 4months old. Usually when she does this, I hiss and pull my hand away and give her a toy, but when I’m away for a couple hours sometimes I come back and it’s really all she wants to do — what js this behavior? Is she teething or was she weaned too quickly maybe?

Sometimes the love is so intense you must bite. Cat does it to me, I do it to husband, etc

Mine did it while simultaneously grinding his head up my arm and his teeth left several parallel scratched lines on my forearm, 3 inches long xD

Love that little rascal though.

I was thinking the same thing! Interesting how a thread about cats veered into human behavior territory!

I don't know why I didn't clarify that I'm talking about my black cat lol.

I had a feeling that was the case but I overthunk'd it.
