Cowlicks:

1) sections of hair that go awry, usually caused by invisible cows that come in the night and lick one's hair; sometimes the invisble cows become visible to one's cat in which case the cat attacks the invisble cows and honestly has no intention of murdering her beloved staff member (though sometimes the startled staff member wonders)

2) blocks of salt or large molasses feeding apparatus put out for cows to lick and cosume necessary nutrients; usually used in the winter though salt licks may be left out year round
