Gently push her away. This is not unusual. She thinks you are her mother. My
one year old cat still kneads my head as he would knead his mother.

I bet she was weaned too young. Don't worry about it. It's love.

Ditto. I had a cat who was weaned too young and she still did this when
she was 5 years old. Oh, and drooled too

It is a common problem with kittens taken from their moms too young. My
first cat was adopted at a mere 5 weeks of age (I didn't know any better).

I think in time she will stop. She may have been weaned too early from her
mother.

Can you put her in another room to sleep? I do this with my cats.

I had a cat who did this her entire life - to age 14.
