Hi,
We have a neutered male Siamese, who has the run of the house and often sleeps on our bed. He has a couple of curious behaviours:
Nose: in the morning, he often wakes me by touching his nose to mine, then backing off.
He doesn't seem to want a cuddle or to climb on me - just to touch noses and stare at me.
Eyebrow: Less frequently, but still not uncommonly, when i'm in bed he'll reach out and stroke my eyebrow with one extended claw. This is a bit disconcerting.
My reaction to both these is usually to move the cat away from my face and try to keep sleeping - with the cat in a safe snuggling place. His reaction is usually to move and repeat the beaviour.
It's not like i encourage him to get in my face, or get up and feed him - my wife does the feeding, but doesn't get this beaviour. I am the one who gives him the most petting and attention though.
I'm curious to hear if anyone else has experienced this, particulalry the eyebrow thing, which is very careful and cooridinated. I don't have huge bushy eyebrows by the way.
And, what might be behind this beaviourally?
Thanks,
