We have a 14 1/2 year old female cat, who is a wonderful companion. She has a couple strange habits, and I wondered if anyone has an explanation for them. For one thing, each evening around 10, she will come down the hallway, with a favorite toy in her mouth - meowing for all she's worth. Any other time of day or evening, she barely makes a sound. The other thing she does, is that whenever I have wet hair, she will get up on the back of the couch, and rub her head against my wet head, as hard as she can - purring loudly the whole time. She only does this to me, no one else in the family. I'm just curious if these behaviors have any explanation. Thanks

Hi Shirley!
It sounds as though your cat has two personal and very normal habits- perhaps, she just feels more energized at night and wants to play (I have a feline friend who insists on sitting on my lap at the same time everyday for about ten minutes yet will not at any other time)- and perhaps, your own personal scent is increased when your hair is wet and rubbing her head against yours is her way of showing great affection- one of the cats living with me does the same thing...I also have another who, in the six years we have lived together, has not drank from a bowl, but insists on waiting around for a facet to be turned on and his tongue is right there above your hands (a habit that has worried me a bit- though I'm sure when we are not around he does drink from his bowl- I do hope anyway.) Cats, just like any other animals, including humans, have their own individual quirks and interests- enjoy your feline friend's odd habits, she sounds like one cool cat- ha ha.
