I’m curious as to why my wife’s six-year-old male cat likes to bite my head. He sits on…
Wow—I assume (since it doesn’t bother you) that these are inhibited bites that do not hurt. While I can’t know for sure why he bites your head, I suspect it has become an attention-seeking behavior. When it works (you turn your head in response) he stops, as he’s received the desired attention. When you ignore the behavior, he escalates to your forehead. I’d suggest you find a way to channel this behavior into something a bit less potentially dangerous. Since he’s not been stopped and perhaps even inadvertently encouraged to continue, I’m concerned that at some point the “love bites” might become more serious. A cat bite to the head/face region is something to avoid!
