I've never (at least I dont think) I've ever been groomed by either of my chins; they groom each other though. I'm not sure if it would count as 'grooming' but Dexter will pull on my boyfriend's leg hairs hahaha.

They just like working with hair and stuff I think lol, and it is something different, and you know how they love to explore different and new things :) .

Do you think it's out of affection?

Yes it is affection or at least their way of accepting you as part of the herd.
