I've had cats who would try to "groom" my hair and would, as a
result, end up with strands stuck in their mouths. Is there a chance
she's trying to groom you?

She's grooming you, probably because she loves you. -- M9

Because she has a fetish. You have fetishes. Why would you assume your
cat doesn't? Ours likes to sniff his foot after he scratches his ear!
The thing I don't understand is why you would let her continue? You
obviously don't like it. Just scold her and she'll eventually get the
idea. Ours liked to scent-mark using his cheek to the side of my big
toe. He felt he must do this every time he reentered the room. Sort of
like the big cats ... bonding with the pack and reestablishing
themselves upon returning and so-forth. I think it's sick. I didn't
like the idea of kitty oils being rubbed on me like gang graffiti on a
subway wall. I began a scolding campaign and lo and behold, after
about a week, he now STOPS just before he starts to rub and just goes
and lays at my feet! You must do the same. And remember ... discipline
is not cruel. It shows you love your pet and she will respect you more
in the end. Hope this helped.

My last cat used to do that alll the time, and I never put goop in my hair,
except shampoo.   My Siamese just started doing that the other day.

I think maybe they like it because it's stringy, and cats loooove string.
Can't think of anything better.

I believe she´s in need of a specific type of fiber. I saw one of my
cats doing that when I put him back on raw meat only. Do you give her
grass? If not, start giving her some grass and that might fix the
problem.
