Our boy cat Snowbell prefers my husband over everyone else in the family. The cat constantly grooms my husband when my husband sleeps by licking his hair on his head. He never tries this, though, when my husband is awake. Also, the cat cries whenever he can't find my husband. What's up with this behavior and is it normal?

Awww that is soooo sweet! Your husband should consider himself very special. It is very common for cats who (happily) live together to groom one another's heads. You see it is very difficult for a cat to clean the top of its head. They must lick their paws and then use their wet paws to clean their heads and faces. So when 2 cats do it for one another it's a sign of deep affection and friendship. Somehow, your Siamese thinks your husband needs a bath! LOL! Either way, he's doing it out of love. It is not unusual for Siamese to latch onto one member of the household. The attachment is sometimes quite fierce and it can cause a Siamese great distress to be missing that member of the family. It took my Siamese an entire summer to forgive me for leaving home and going away to college. When I came back for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Spring Break, she wanted NOTHING to do with me. She was so pissed off. It wasn't until the end of the summer that she made me her best friend again. Of course, then I had to go away again, but I visited home more often and she got used to it. Siamese are the bomb. I just love them to pieces. Very special breed. Consider yourself & your husband blessed to be "owned" by such a wonderful creature!

This behaviour is very normal with a siamese.
A siamese is known for being a one person cat.
They attach theirselves to someone and shower them with affection. I love siamese cats. I'll probably get one at some point. I want a rescue thogh so they are harder to find in UK

Your cat favours your husband like my male siamese favours my mother. It may be because your husband treats him the best, or if your husband is the one feeding him, there is the explanation why he likes him a lot. Also siamese are the number one cat that bonds with just one person. Yes, that is normal behavior for that breed of cat.

My oriental shorthair male does that to my husband too wow!!!
Kitty is highly attached to your husband and considers him the alpha cat. In the cat world is grooming another cat is a mark of respect and a way for a cat to pay homage to a leader.
Your husband should be flattered, he's king of the cats!!

Awww! I don't really have an answer here it's just that I miss my male Siamese so much. He died of mammary cancer three years ago and he was my major squeeze!

It's a sign of affection, love, and comfort. Cats who live together often sleep together and clean each other as signs of affection. When you cat licks you its his/her way of showing affection towards you. My cat does the same thing.
