That is called hepatic encephalopathy. It is where the toxins (that aren't being filtered by the liver) go to the brain causing strange symptoms. They include head pressing, seizures, circling... If it is just her head, she might be itchy from something (allergies?). If you are concerned I would go to the vet but it is probably something minor.
