This is very interesting. Shiloh loves to be petted but not over her head...under her chin or behind her ears are the preferred head spots.

I've also noticed this with my cats. Stanley doesn't like when you approach the top of his head, but loves under the chin, cheeks or behind the ears. Brandy likes his head rubbed, but he'll lay on his back and rub the top of his head on my hand, he doesn't like if he's sitting up and I pet his head.

Interesting...
