Or someone else's pets? And if so, describe the nature of the "encounter." Promise we won't laugh at you. We may laugh with you, though.

Hi Dave,

Too funny but good topic. :-) I used to have a cat...RC a Virgo cat...that would swipe at my hair when I was sleeping if my hair was hanging off the bed.

I also had a kitten that would try to grab my hair.

My yellow lab didn't mess with my hair but a few times I did get my hair tangled in her leash.

Can't wait to see what others have to say on this topic.

Best wishes,
Karen

i do have kind of a funny story. at least to me it was funny my cousin had very long hair when i got my cat, sabrina. it was back in 93. well my cousin really doesn't like cats. sabrina was just a kitten an my cousin was on her knees. sabrina saw her long hair hanging down. sabrina jumps on her back to get it! LOL sabrina is hanging on my cousin's back! needless to say my cousin wasn't to happy.

well....when my black cat was a psycho-kitten (and, while I realize nearly every kitten is a spaz, he was way over-the-top..), he'd swing on my braid like Tarzan...now he's not quite so interested in it, but he will still sit on the counter while I comb my hair and try to touch my hand with his paw as it moves...white cat is attracted to my hair when it's wet (chew, chew, bat, chew)...

LOL! When my chocolate lab was a puppy, she used to tug on my hair, like tug o' war. It was a cute game, until she started getting big! I hated to have to tell her no and break her habit, but it was really starting to hurt.

I have a picture. I was actually thinking of posting it even before you brought the topic up, Dave. It's a funny picture.

I'd never allow that now, of course, even with a small puppy. I'm way too anti-damage anal-retentive now.

My cat, Onyx, who is no longer with us, used to lick my husbands hair. Just like he was grooming him like he would himself.

Oh, I miss my Onyx!!

One day I was out walking, and an orange cat and I spied each other at the same time. As he came over to greet me, I bent over to pet him, and the cat went wild! The cascade of my mane falling down was too much for him and he leaped up to my hair.

Luckily I have reflexes as good as any cat, and I was able to successfully take evasive action.


Just looking for a few good hair slaves - is that too much to ask?

Funny new-old topic. My mother-in-law used to have long hair in the 60´s. At one time she cared for a stray cat, that was very shy and connected only with her. After some time, this cat had kittens, and every night, while my mother-in-law was sleeping, the cat would carry her kittens and place them in her hair, on or beside the pillow. I guess she felt they were safe and comfortable there! My mother-in-law looks very funny while she tells this story and makes a little acting of how she tried to get up every morning, brushing these kittens out of her hair!

My good friend has a dog named Petey.  If we sit on the floor or if he is w/in any reach of our hair, he will play w/ it.  If we are wearing a scrunchie, he climbs to the tops of our heads and gently yanks it out w/ his teeth!  He likes to comb out our hair w/ his claws, too.

One day my bird Alexandra decided that my ponytail would be a perfect swing.

awww, pets...animals....i love all animals, except for turkeys, they totally freak me out!

 

i have 2 cats.

Boy 

and

lisamoo

at night, lisamoo, loves to be on on the sofa with me, she loves to curl into my shoulder and dive under my hair at the same time. and i know its naughty, and it could wreck my hair, but she loves to play with it when its in plaits too.

boy - if im doing yoga and i get into an awkward position where my hair falls around me, he attacks it, to the extent that he gently bites & tugs!

obviously i dont let this go on all the time, otherwise my hair would be non-existant now.

i also had a hamster....lol...named marvin...hes dead now, bless....he drowned in my toilet - DONT ASK!

he used to love burrowing in my hair.

 

i also had a magpie (saved it when its wing was injured & it wouldnt leave once it was healed) he'd fly into my bedroom window after his day out, and kind of do this thing with his beak...as if he was somehow de-flea-ing my scalp. it used to feel so good! kinda like those indian head massagers/orgasmotrons.

ive got a vid clip on this puter (somewhere) of lisamoo doing her thing with my hair, id upload it to let you all see if i knew how

my mother in law is now my ex mother in law. i wont say much about that, except that i hope she goes bald.

 

only messing...bwahaha.

 

not about the ex thing tho. SHE ONCE GAVE ME CRAB/LICE LOTION TO WASH MY HAIR WITH! she told me it was an expensive product (she poured it into a fancy bottle & silly me was conned into thinking it was some herbal treatment for longgg hair) its only after i poured it on and whiffed it as it lathered up that i clicked what it was! (in high school we were shown a bottle & scent of it in health & beauty class) the stench stayed with me for days and it dried my hair out so much i thought it was gonna snap. (she had a very sick warped cruel sense of humour)

yes, that ex mother in law sure did dislike me and my hairdo!

anyway...stop making me go off the topic ladyfrog. youre gonna get us into trouble with the hair police. ....so yes.... yes, hair and animals....human hair that is. Thing is, we constantly play with their hair dont we, smoothing it, combing it, fluffing it up...so why shouldnt they have a go of ours! c'mon, its only fair.

 

 

i dont like clowns. those tufts of hair in bright ginger freak me out more than turkeys.

(ok, i know i went off the subject then but it still involved HAIR!)

I have a Maine Coon and his name is "Bailey."  Everytime I grease my scalp he wants to lick it off my scalp and bite on my plaits.

That was mean of your Mother in law. I've already said that my dog sits on my hair but my brothers kitten (vvvvvvv cute) likes batting at my hair, when she was little she used to lie in my arms and if my hair was loose she would bat at my hair and try and eat it and she would get so workedup and she looked so cute! (She's too big now, when I pick her up, unless she's half asleep, depnding on her mood she either tryies to jump down or takes the short route and bites me.)

One of my cats, Tigger, loves to go crazy on my head when I sit up on the couch.  I'll be sitting there and he'll be creeping around the top of the couch and when he gets to me he nudges and bites and bats at the top of my head.  Come to think of it, he does it to everyone that sits on my couch and has hair

My other cat, Cruella, lovvvvvvvvvvves to play with my hair while I'm doing yoga.  I'll be laying on the floor (my hair spread out all over) in a complicated pose trying to focus on tranquility, and all of a sudden I'll feel my hair move as he's batting it around.

Pets, gotta love 'em.

My cats do pretty much what everyone's else's cats do (I didn't know it was so common for cats to do this!).  They each have a favorite flavor of shampoo (one cat likes Tangerine, the other likes Fruitsation), and when we use that flavor, they try to eat our hair.
