Why Does My Cat . . . Head Butt Me?

I headbumpies! Kitties, please give your beloved purr-sons some headbumpies from Cassie!

If I am writing at the kitchen table, Oscar almost always jumps up, purring, and wants to give me tons of head bumps. Of course, he also manages to sit on my work! Cole will head bump my hands. Zoe...she might manage one on the fly, hyper little thing!

Fister does it mostly in the mornings and I love it, even though I'd like to sleep a bit longer. I'm sure it's a sign that he loves me.

Kyubey gives the best head-bumpies. Sherpa doesn't do it as often, but he can give you a concussion if you aren't ready for it!!

I think that Our Cats have glands of the side of thier headsand by rubbing thier hedas on us they can put thier scent on us and are then able to
mark us as thier friends . We are flattered at the Found Cat Hotel as My Cats have exchanged head butts all the time.

I like their definition of it as trusting the person or environment. Logan doesn't head bump as much as Zam, so I take heart the few times he has nuzzled John's leg.

Diamond loves to rub her face against my hand while I'm watching TV, demanding to be petted. Marnie head-butts at feeding time!
