About 20-30% of the time during petting my cat, my cat likes to bite my hand. Then, she likes to grab and play with my hand as if it is a stuffed animal that she caught. She is semi-feral when i first adopted her from a shelter; however, she is pretty tame now otherwise.
So, in sum, my cat thinks she is being playful and my hand is a toy, so she bites and captures it.
It would likely take long periods of time to train her not to bite my hand.
Currently, i mostly just ignore it and as if it doesn't bother me or as if it isn't a big deal. In that sense, i don't get mad nor change my behavior. Rather, she bites and plays with my hand; then, i continue my petting of her after that.
