A batsman can only be caught off his bat or his glove if it is contact with the bat. Batsmen can be given out caught off the forearm but only because of umpire error. For instance Glen McGrath had Michael Atherton caught off his arm guard in the 2001 Ashes.

See the MCC's Law 6.8 (Contact with the ball) which explains how hands and gloves touching the bat count as the bat for these purposes, at http://www.lords.org/laws-and-spirit/laws-of-cricket/laws/law-6-the-bat,1027,AR.html

and also

Appendix d which summarises about what counts as "the bat" for the purposes of the rules. http://www.lords.org/laws-and-spirit/laws-of-cricket/laws/appendix-d,73,AR.html
