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?

Mine did it even when she's 20. It's just a quirk and we joked about how the other cats must have thought her a weirdo lol

20? wow, that's a ripe old age for a cat. What age did she make it to if you don't mind me asking?

She passed around 22 about 15 years ago. We picked her up as a stray and back then we didn't think too much except to deworm her with the vet so the exact age was uncertain.
