cat wakes me up pulling my hair

I have a cat buddy. He is a gray tiger. He has LOTS of strange little habits, but as of a week ago, he developed a new one. He will wake me up at 3am by pulling my hair!

He will pat me on the head a couple times, then he will use his claws to actually pull. Does anyone else cat do this?

The weird part is he purrs while doing it! He comes back sometimes every hour and does this. I have even fed him before to get him to stop, but he just comes right back and does it.

Anyone have any idea why?
