. They are truly...

My current cat Ed is a sweet, affectionate creature. One morning, I awoke to him grooming my head and he hasn’t looked back since. If my hair is anywhere in his reach, he pounces on it and starts a slow, rhythmic process of licking my locks.
I assumed this was some sort of expression of his love for me and it may be. Cats groom each other as a sign of comfort and bonding (you’re unlikely to see two cats who despise each other grooming each other). Especially if your cat is kneading and purring while doing this, it is likely to be a sign of contentment and acceptance. Or, it could be the shampoo you use – you never know with cats. Kelly is a dog columnist and pet writer. She lives in the Boston-area with her three pit bulls and one neurotic cat. |
Ashley grooms me the same exact way. I kind of like it to be honest.
