Is it normal for kittens to bite and play with my hair while cuddling?

Question

Occasionally my kittens will play with and bite my hair. They have plenty of toys but sometimes when cuddling that want to mess with my hair. It's not annoying or anything and they don't play with it roughly but I'm worried it might be because of something bad. Is this nornal for cats to do?

Yes, this is very normal - kittens this age will try to play with just about anything within reach, and hair is very tempting for them when they are cuddling with you :) They will grow out of this as they get older, so as long as it isn't hurting you or bothering you, I wouldn't worry about it at all.
