Why Does My Cat . . . Head Butt Me?

[smokey the elder]

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

So head butting is really bunting. Somehow, I don't this the PT family is going to change their term ha ha haaaa.

Some of mine do, some don't. Usually they seem to do this when I am intent on doing something! Maybe they pick up on our mood / attitude and want to verify that it is really me?! And mark that I am safe, even intent on something other than them ha haaaa.

I just wish Patch would be somewhat more......subtle (okay, so the word isn't in his lexicon) about it. That head to the chin can be a rude awakening!

Many of my cats do this, and like LH, some of them I wish weren't so enthusiastic! Dakky can knock my hand (with coffee cup in it) about three feet. And, well, OUCH and CRUD at the same time.

I love kitty buntings.

Yes, several of my cats also do this. Sky gives hard head butts so I have to watch out for his.
