Question:

Almost every morning after I leave for work, my son's cat goes into our bedroom to sleep with my wife. After a short period of time he starts pulling my wife's hair with his teeth. Any idea why he's doing this?.

T.R., Sterling Heights, MI Jul 25, 2004

Answer:

This is the cat's way of waking up your wife. Maybe the cat wants to be fed, so feed him before you go to work. Other hungry cats will yowl, walk with leaden paws over sleepers, or knock things off a dresser or side table until they get their way.
