Oh yeah it does look like that. Likely a battery operated hand that's in stores around Halloween. Best time of year for clothes, especially costumes, jewelry and accessories if you're goth and dress weird like me.!
Yeah I've heard of stuff like that with cats. These ones in gifs like these though just stick their tongues in and out when you rub them over the tail. Most put their butts in the air and I've had ones start doing a scratching motion with their back leg at their ear when scratching them. Cats also have those "special spots" they love to be petted on. For some it's similar places then for others it's not the typical like my Bombay. He loves when I rub roughly along his side and looks back at my hand with a specific look on his face and gets real affectionate. Think I saw an episode of My Cat From Hell once where a cat had that but didn't respond well to touches. The owners didn't get why he got aggressive when petted and found out he had that. I think this one is just an idiot.
