My kitten has been licking my eyelids when I am sleeping. I move her away and tell her no and to stop but she keeps doing it and only to me. Is this normal?

This seems to me to be a pretty good basic list of "normal" and indications of problems, especially for new owners. There should be a book of this type of stuff for first time cat owners.
