Scared Straight

Since day 1, Lil Meg has had to curl up on my pillow every night with me and nest in my hair. It's just what she does.
A while ago, I got a hair straightener and things changed.
I noticed that on the days that I used the straightener, she would sleep out in her kitty condo. (and believe me, Jack took full advantage of this...all the more room for HIM on the bed.)
I went back to curling my hair and BOOM...she was back nesting.
Have you ever heard of such a thing? Cats with a preference for curly hair? Maybe it's more bouncy and soft to sleep in when curly? It's a mystery.
