If you had a lynx grooming you that aggressively, your hair would be utterly FABULOUS.

If I had a lynx grooming me that aggressively I'd be bleeding. Cat tongues are rough and bigger cats can remove meat from bone by licking it.

Sounds like I just found the cheapest way to exfoliate

I think it will be the most expensive way to exfoliate!

As someone who has a cat that insists on "grooming" my face and head lemme tell ya it exfoliates all right, but be prepared to have them leave slimey hair slapped onto your face bc they got it in their mouth

As a side note: I dont let him do this, he ambushes me while asleep and tries to steal my eyebrows/eyelashes

I still laugh when cats try to lick my hair and just get a mouth full of hair because they licked against the grain..

Like, cat, 30% of your life is spent licking hair, how do you not know what direction to lick by now?

Mine tries to lick my forehead hair but it’s so long (almost to my elbows) that he can’t get it out of his mouth when he pulls his head back lol. He does this every time and then looks angry at me for allowing him to do it again

More like he’ll use my face to push me away until I pull the hair out of his mouth

Mine likes to really go for those little baby hairs near my hairline and you would think after a whole year of it, they would figure out its not worth it

I used to have a cat that would lick me ONLY in my sleep. Since I have a sleeping disorder, this wouldn't wake me, and he'd just keep licking.

I'd wake up with blood spots staining the sheets where he had licked me too long.

My theory was, he was very very slowly trying to eat me.

I have a cat who loves to lick me when I'm asleep, but it wakes me up, especially on the rare occasion when she goes for my eyelid. She has mostly learned not to do that, though. It hurts!
