Rubs And Head-Butts
When your cat rubs against you or gives you gentle head-butts, it’s not just being affectionate—it’s marking you as part of its territory. Cats have scent glands on their faces, and by rubbing against you, they’re leaving their scent on you, effectively claiming you as theirs. This behavior is a sign of trust and love, indicating that your cat feels comfortable and safe in your presence. It’s their way of saying, “You’re part of my family.”
Butt In The Face
When your cat lifts its tail and presents its backside to you, it’s not just being rude—it’s actually a sign of trust and affection. In the feline world, this behavior is a friendly greeting, a way to show that they feel safe around you. Cats also communicate through scent, and by offering their rear, they’re inviting you to be part of their inner circle. While it might seem strange to us, it’s their way of being polite and social.
