My cat loves my hair.

I adore my cat, really, but my cat is a bit eccentric. He misses my old roommate, and gets lonely. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night, and my cat is at the head of the bed, trying to 'groom' my hair. :confused:
I read online that cats groom other cats as a sign of deference, so, I guess that means that my cat respects me, and thinks I am his 'alpha' cat?
I try to discourage him from doing it, because it disrupts my sleep, but the other thing is, my gut feeling is that this cannot be good for my hair. His tongue is really rough.
Do I need to start wearing a hat to bed?

Get him a girlfriend... ;)

I wish I could! He had a 'girlfriend' this summer, they fought all the time.

Awwww! This is very sweet!
I personally don't think it would be bad for you hair, but I am very partial to cats! :)
After all, how many do you see with split ends? Hehehehe!

But my cat sheds so much! I know he really wants to get to classic, but it's hard to have a nice thick hemline when it sheds like that. :cool:
