转chewing behavior in cats
A cat's obsession with chewing human hair can range from biting and batting at long swinging locks to chewing and swallowing clumps while their human sleeps.
This is natural feline behavior. Mother cats groom their kittens before their eyes are open, and kittens respond by licking their mother's and siblings' fur. For a kindle of kittens, chewing is play and demonstrates trust and affection.
When a kitten goes to a new home, she can transfer this affectionate grooming to her human. If it is accompanied by purring and nuzzling, it means your cat accepts you as a litter-mate.
Kittens who are weaned too early may respond by chewing hair.
Hair chewing is more prevalent in Siamese and other Asian felines. Some suggest that these breeds are more anxious and chewing hair relaxes them.
Some cats may stop chewing hair around age 2; for others it is a lifelong habit.
