What Does Headbutting In Cats Mean?

 

broken image

Has your cat ever bumped her head against you? This behavior may seem weird, but it's normal. It's a good sign. When your cat bumps her head to you, it means that you have an excellent cat-parent relationship.

Cats have this thing called "pheromones" on their cheeks. These pheromones release a scent that you may not smell, but it's a mark that your cat gives to something they own. So when your cat bumps her head against you, she's releasing the love scent to mark you as their "person."

As a cat parent, there may be many times your cat acts weirdly. There are many cat body languages that humans still can't understand. But in general, strange behaviors and gestures to cats are okay. As long as it is not harming them, all you need to do is get along with their unusual mannerisms.
