Supervising me again while I'm studying. I'm sure he was trying to tell me to get right back to my reading and stop being lazy!

lol Jake does that too!! That's why I had to creep up on him really close without him seeing me. If I do this from farther away he gives that some low pitched meow and even arches back slightly and walks like a gorilla for a few steps and leaves
He is growing up too fast and the baby games are all getting old

Awwwww, there's my sweet, fluffy, handsome Jake-y! He is growing up so fast. He looks very regal as he is supervising you in your studies, and the hand pics are hilarious! What a doll baby!

Jake is very beautiful! Sleek! However, I would not advise using a hand as a toy. In fact I always advise people to never ever use hands as toys! It can invite problems!

Yea, I know, he used to always attack my hand as a little kitten, and I never got him to stop. I tried, but I just gave up and let him bite away as much as he wants, sometimes even drawing blood. As he got older he got the idea on his own that it hurts and he shouldn't bite hard, so now he never hurts me, he just nibbles gently. He's just a good baby like that

I play with Teddy the same way, even though I know I shouldn't. It's amazing how they know not to hurt us and be gentle. Jake's a very handsome boy!

Oh my Jake is such a handsome boy!!!
My cats play with my hands too! Mostly they begin to just lick my hand
My cats usually help me with homework by laying on it!!

Ha! In the pic of the 2 of you, he so looks like "Aw, Mommmmm! Let me gooooo!" In a whiny kid voice.
He's so precious, I love that fluffy boy!

The biting pics look like what Genever does, but I always take away the hand. I don't try to play Bite The Hand with her. She just still isn't associating biting hands with me stopping playing with her and ignoring her. I think that may be because her daddy (BF) lets her get away with biting.... sigh. It's hard when you're working on training 2 animals!!

Actually I've found it to be the case too that even when playing with my hand, cats are usually pretty good at realising quickly what is an "acceptable" pressure when they're chewing on you
Most don't actively bite hard, but on occasion they may get a little over-zealous. I think it really boils down to how much it bothers the person being bitten whether or not they play with their kitty like this.

That's exactly what he was trying to do!! Tell me to leave him alone and stop bothering him with boring human stuff

It actually takes a looong time and that's why I gave up
