    Nancy,
    
    Perhaps hes trying to say...." Phew,whats this smelly stuff?"
    
    ;-)

    Maybe he wants to be a hairdresser??
    
    You should probably think about sending him to school??!! TeeHee!

    	Nancy, Rosie used to do this to me, too, except it was
    	when I was soaking in the tub, she'd sit behind me, stick
    	her nose into my hair, then *yank*! I think it had to do 
    	with the mousse (or something) that I used...she always	
    	did like pretty smells...

    re: .3 Sherry -
      You may be right - Do you happen to use Paul Mitchell??
    (Its not animal tested you know)

    RE: paul Mitchell....is tha good or bad?????  (good in the sense
    that it's not animal tested, but bad because you don't know the 
    effects?)

    (who uses PM products)

    That's GOOD!!  I mean how much relevance does it have to my
    scalp to have hair products force fed to animals!! 
    
    Besides, PM uses totally natural ingredients which are highly
    unlikely to harm you.
    
    Also, if you read the label you'll see that it says "Tested 
    on hairdressers, NOT on animals."  so it IS tested.

    	Well, it wasn't PM, I think it usually happened after
    	I had had my hair colored....it smelled very floral-y...

    My Willy does the same thing to my head in the morning when he wants me
    to get up and feed him.  He does this till I either cover my head w/ my
    comforter or get out of bed & feed him.  I do use Paul Mitchell
    products - ironically enough!  As a matter of fact when Willy hears me
    brushing my hair he comes from any room in the house to get under the
    spray of the Sculpting Spray and of course take off w/ the cap - which
    by the way is his favorite toy.  He plays w/ those caps for hours
    (literally)!
    
    P.S.  What's the catch w/ Paul Mitchell products?
    
    Sonia (curious)

    I just thought that they might like the smell of the PM products,
    that's all.
    
    Well, Bob started doing a little hairdressing routine - minus the
    *yank* - on Jack this morning and Jack doesn't use PM, so scratch
    that theory.

    Thunder went crazy when I had my perm.  She would lay on my pillow and
    hold my head with her paws and just *burrow, burrow, burrow*.  What
    wierd cats we have.  Thunder and Lightning love Vicks and Ben-Gay too.

    Hey - maybe that's it.  I had a perm a few weeks ago and my head
    still smells like perm when its wet.
    

    
    	I'll have you ladies know that I am giggling profusely
    	and the rest of the folks in my class wanna know what's so
    	funny!  =)
    
    	I use Salon Selective spritz which smells like apples...sort of.
    	Sasha loves to "groom" mom....

    Nancy, there may be something to this Paul Mitchell/perm stuff.
    I use PM sculpting lotion and Bailey has been known to groom my
    hair for me when I'm sitting on the couch watching tv.  But, the
    more I think about it...I notice she does it more when my perm 
    is fresh than after its had a chance to grow out.  I'm due for
    another perm soon.  I'll have to watch her reaction a little more
    closely to see if it's the perm that gets her.

    I have never known Nippa to play hairdresser....although she is not
    a very affectionate cat to begin with....(I use PM as well).  I 
    find she is more interested in licking hand cream off instead....
    ;^)......

    hmmm.  You folks may be on to something here.  It's taken me until
    this morning to figure out that I, too, use P.M. Awapooee (ugh,
    I know that's spelled wrong, sorry Paul).  MAYbe that's why Lily
    gives me all the doo's - last night she really went to town.  It
    took me 10 minutes to brush out the knots!  She is a piece of work!
    
    E.

    Hey Elaine  - I could send Bob over.  He'd take care of the
    knots for you.  
      Although you might not be too thrilled with the results..   :-DDDD

    If he can hold a hair brush, send him!  I thought I would need a
    jack-hammer this morning to get them out.  After she finished last
    night, she literally wrapped herself around my head, and very
    comfortably dozed off, the little dear!  She really must have 
    had a very hard day!  Of course, she know she has to gather 
    her strenght for the Salem show this weekend.  She knows that
    she has to sit in her cage and look cute, walk out on her
    grooming table, and play with her kitty tease, eat only her
    favorite foods both Saturday and Sunday, recline on her pillow
    in her cage with her name on it.  Yup, she really must rest up
    so when the judges look at her, and smile at her and tickle her
    under her chin, she will be strong enough to purrrrr for them.
    
    That's a lot of work for a little shorthaired baby girl !!!!!

    pardon any typos - I have a very sore hand this morning!  
    

    
    here's diane with another dumb question:
    
    when the cats lick the hand cream or perfume from our skin--or the hair
    preparations from our hair--are they doing it because they like the
    taste or because they are trying to remove the scent so our "predators"
    won't be able to track us?
    
    i am always curious about relating the behaviour of our domestic babies
    to their ancestors in the wild...

    E.T. don't forget she must also get rested up.. so I when I arrive
    on Sunday..  I can hug her...  I am also sure that Snidley is
    resting too.. heh-heh.. I  have been practicing my kitty hugs..
    heh-heh.. just do not tell Pookie that I will be kittyhugging
    as well as kittyshopping..
    hopefully she will give me back my Feliners badge..

    Oh, Kate, yes, I will tell her to take an extra nap to prepare
    for her aunties' hugs!  You know how much she 'hates' attention !
    
    I think Snidley is a lot like his daddy - he does resting real well!
    Or shall we say that he is 'laid-back' ???
    
    E.T.

     Ya know, that is true,,, I can't wait  to see Snidley .. I told
    Precious I was going to see  her brother this weekend,,  I chatted
    with Cin last nite.. I think though I talked and she listened..
    sigh.. LiL is " shy " .. heh-heh..
