Experts Share 10 Cat Warning Signs That It’s Time For A Vet Visit

Little cat headbutts are a cat’s way of marking you with their scent

Believe it or not, but a cat headbutt is actually called “head bunting” – not that it makes any difference. It can be pretty adorable and is one of the most obvious ways your cat feels comfortable with you. Cats actually have a scent marker in their head. Every time you butt heads, they are leaving their smell all over your face.

This tells other cats who their owner belongs to, and there is another cat around. It also helps to make your cat feel more at home as everything will smell like them. It turns out that headbutting is even a way for our feline friends to show us they feel comfortable enough to invite certain people into their personal space.
