Why does my cat like to lick my hair.

Welcome to Pet Talk!

I think Tuxedos have a hair fetish. Seriously, he may be attracted to the smell of the shampoo or conditioner you use. My foster Boots loves to rub his face all over my wet hair.

The paw moving is called "kneading", "making bread", and a whole load of other terms. This is a feline term of endearment as it mimics the motion tiny kittens make when they are nursing to get the milk to come out of the faucet faster. Among my cats, the males seem to do it more than the females.

Your kitties are pretty! You can attach up to a 2 meg picture, so you can post bigger ones.

Here's Boots, my hair-loving foster.
