The Affectionate Headbutt
As mentioned earlier, cats have a unique way of showing affection by gently shoving their faces into ours. This behavior is not aggressive; instead, it symbolizes trust and is considered a feline greeting.
This action, known as “bunting,” signifies that a cat is comfortable with the person, animal, or object they are interacting with. Cats also transfer their pheromones by rubbing their face against us, marking us as part of their safe circle.
