Why does my cat bite my husband's hair?

[Iwantanelephant]

He is about 2 years old, the cat, not my husband, and we have had him about 5 months. He has done it a few times and also bitten my hair twice. Seems very random .

[TwoStepsBeyond]

My cat loved licking DP's hair, I presume it just smelled nice or like another cat and she wanted to groom him!

[Iwantanelephant]

But he bites my husband, no grooming going on there!

kitten bites my dd's hair- would like to know why too!

[Doinmummy]

Yep got a hair chewing cat here too. She also likes licking ears. Eeew

[CinderToffee]

Our cat does this. She likes to sit round DH's shoulders, and sometimes then takes the opportunity to chew his hair. It's odd - I don't know why she does it!

my half siamese does this when i wont give him attention hes weird

[Lovethesea]

Frustrated hair dresser?

Mine goes for unwashed hair. Starts off as nuzzling. Then your scalp gets bitten.

Mind does it if she wants attention. In the morning, I get a thorough head tug.

Cute but not at 6am.

Ours does this to dh too! Proper licking of his bald head. It means she's hungry. She doesn't do it to me, but every morning she does it to get him to wake up normally 10 minutes or so before the alarm goes.
Very insistent and I know he's getting pissed off with it

[Fluffycloudland77]

With some cats it's a sign of love/affection.

She luffs him.

My half Siamese also does this if she's not getting attention, especially if I'm having a lie in and haven't got up at 7am to feed her!

mine does this if my hair is wet.
