It's kind of wierd, but when I'm on my computer chair he climbs onto my lap and tries to get to my face. Is this normal? He's a 4 month old bengal kitten and he usually doesn't like to be pet just yet. He sometimes nibbles on you pet him and when you rub his stomach he'll swat at your hand, but he gets on my lap and just lays there, and then he'll try to climb up to my face but I never let him. I have my labret pierced (part inbetween your lip and chin) and there's a red ball on it, but it's coming off soon, not sure if that could've been the reason

It is normal for a cat to reach out for your face. In your case the "red ball" is an invitation.

Yup but I don't let them kiss me on the lips. Just their sweet face rub on my cheeks and forehead.

I'm worried he's gonna scratch me up, because he's still young and sometimes still scared of me

Both my cats like being with me when I'm in my computer chair. Chynna is getting too old to jump so she sits on the shelf of the desk by my knee and taps me on the leg to let me know she wants "up". So I pick her up and she maneuvers herself as high up as she can get and rests over my shoulder and settles in for a nice cuddle fest. I can't cheat her though and type with one hand, she expects my full attention and will jump down if she feels she's being cheated of her two handed cuddles and scratches, LOL She also gives me kisses on the nose at the same time.

Abby jumps up onto me and does the same thing minus the kisses. She likes to be right up by my face with the front of her face pressed against my mouth and both of my hands rubbing her ears and scratching the top of her head. And she knows if I'm cheating and only using one hand too, LMAO

I'm not sure what the reason is, but for some reason most cats like being by your head/face.

I have a piercing in the same place but mine is a small diamond so my cat never notices it.

She does however like to cuddle when I'm on the computer. She likes to stand infront of the screen and clean herself or she goes to her "section" for a nap (a clear area on the desk where she likes to chill out). She also likes to climb onto my lap and knead and fall asleep (I love that).

Sometimes she'll jump onto the top of the chair (we have one of those big comfy office chairs) and she'll rub her head on mine or just sit there like she's guarding me.

I think maybe your red piercing is what's attracting your kitty to your face. After all, it's big and red so she may think it's some kind of toy.
