I wonder what my cat is thinking when she sits on my chect with her paws

starts kneading my hair and drooling into it have anything to do with
thoughts of taking a spine severing bite out of my neck some day?
:-)
More likely she's trying to figure out where she might find a nipple
that actually gives milk! :-) I read somewhere that the pawing motion
is called "mewling" and mimics the behaviors kittens use when nursing.
It's supposed to be part of their dichotomous view of us as both
"alpha/mother" and "youngster in need of training".
