Since Freckles died Bob has liked to sleep on my pillow, and now he's taking it one step further. He actually licks my hair! I'm taking as a sign that he views me as an honorary cat. Or maybe he's just attracted to the scent of my shampoo. Is this a common behavior?

Cat likes to lick my hair

He views you as an honorary cat. My DiddoKahli always washed my hair for me at night. She has passed now three years and I would give everything I own just to have her here with me, washing my hair. Even though I got no sleep.
You know, cats purr automatically, but they CHOOSE who they will lick. It is quite an honor.

Bella grooms her Daddy and I a lot. Not our hair, but any exposed skin she can get her wet little tongue onto. It's a rough awakening sometimes, when she goes for our faces, but I think it's cute. Just watch that your kitty doesn't swallow any long hairs, because they could be just as bad as tinsel in her intestines.
I think it's a sign of trust, since she started about a week after I adopted her, and it took a long time for her to start grooming daddy, since he was in a different state than us for about a year.

Milla likes to groom peoples hair too. She does it especially if I have some kind of hairspray etc. in my hair. Of course she has to clean me up then if I'm dumb enough not to do it myself.
It's a bit annoying (but at the same time endearing) sometimes (in the middle of night, trying to sleep) and she just won't give up, when she's decided to groom. I actually have to cover my head if I want some peace.

Duke is like this with me. He kneads my hair as well. If I pick my head up off the pillow, he just sits there patiently until I put it back where its supposed to be so he can resume his work. You're right, it IS annoying, but its terribly sweet too
This is interesting as I just got through reading another post on this forum about a person who licks their cat's hair! There used to be a popular song called MUTUAL ADMIRATION SOCIETY and I think this is what we have here.
