Liking my eyelid --- OUCH!

Lucas has started to do this at least once a day, when I'm in bed. It's painful (feels like sandpaper on my eyelid!) Most of the times when I'm not asleep yet I feel him sniffing and move my face before he goes for it, but when I'm sleeping he wakes me up after taking a full lick! Ouch!

Anyone's cat also does that? He never licks me in any other time or place, just the eyelid!

When Ripley thinks I have been sleeping far longer then she feels is necessary (translation.. Uh.I am Hungry) She will Climb up the bed start sniffing, she will then lick my eyelid, if that doesn't work she will sick her tongue in MY NOSTRIL...eeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwww. That usually leaps me right up and she runs right for the food dish.
