Bony, wrinkled old hands...you clearly need glasses!
I wear thin cotton gardening gloves that have fake ultrasuede palms when I play with Zeke. He has a bit of a fetish about ultrasuede - my drapes are ultrasuede thermal and they have little stains all over because he gathers them in his pointy hands and licks them until they are soaking wet...so the gloves are a huge hit. When they are so full of holes that they don't count as gloves anymore I turn them over to him and they become his favorite toys. Adorable little weirdo.
If you get some gloves to try, just hand them over and let him play with them for a few days first. Then put them on.
