My cat Tori is driving me nuts. Every night she wakes me up and is licking my lips. I love my cat but this is gross. She will not leave me alone. If I put a cover over my head she scratches until she can get it off. If I roll over she follows. What is up with this cat?

Are you using any kind of lip gloss or menthol chapstick before going to bed? This may be attracting your cat.
Another thing may be that your cat has learned this behavior as a way to wake you up and get attention from you. You might be able to cure this behavior by gently placing her in a bathroom or some room away from you and shutting the door. She'll probably meow, but don't open the door until morning. (Be sure she has a litterbox and water!) A few nights of this should cure this behavior, atlhough it will not be easy for you. If you decide to go this route, don't talk to her, pet her or do anything but put her in time out.
Good luck!

Lips!!! That is kind of yucky! I have one that licks my eyelids. and another that grooms my hair. Perhaps they should open a beauty salon together.
