My 2 1/2 motnh old kitten plays with my hair when I am laying down. She Sucks on it and swats it with her paws. Why is she doing this?

She misses her mom, or telling you she is hungry? Those are normal movements between an infant animal towards its mother.

You probably remind her of her mother most kitten's play with their mother or siblings (biting, swatting eachother,hissing, pouncing, sometimes even pull eachothers fur) your hair probably reminds her of her mom and she just wants to have fun just don't let her eat your hair. The swatting is the start of kitten's wanting to play, the more you ignore it or pull her away the more she'll want to go on. The sucking on you hair is the kitten biting the other cats fur trying to play or it could be she thinks she can nurse off of it. My sisters 3 month old kitten does this all the time to her.

Most cats that I have owned in the past have done that. They are showing affection. Try getting them a toy with a string and beads on the end. Your kitten may still be used to playing with her siblings tails when she was a baby. I work at a local shelter and we have to donate and make all kinds of toys for baby animals. Please feel free to email me if you have any further questions.

She may llike the flavour of your hair products and she considers you her mom, and she would play with her real cat mom, so consider yourself lucky that your kitten loves you so much;)

sounds like she's playful...if you dont want her to play with your hair give her yarn or string instead, they love that! =)

SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS WRONG FOR HER TO DO.
