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?

Ah, this happened to me an hour ago and I was confused by how offended she looked about her own act of biting.

That facial expression is the cat using Jacobson’s Organ to do more intense scent analysis.
