Are there gloves made specifically for playing with particularly feisty cats? (lemmy.world)

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.

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.

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.
