I was viewing some cat pages and found this...thought you might find interesting regarding that precious moment with your cat head bumping you....
When your cat head butts you he is extremely content. It is also a way for your cat to greet you with love and affection....Also when your cat head butts you, he is marking you as his property... pheromones are secreted from his forehead and send out messages to other members of the species that your his property.
Head butting is usually a pretty clear indication that your cat wants to be pet! Cats very often head butt people when they want affection and love. Your cat will often purr when he starts to head butt you. Sometimes a cat will start with head butting and then rub his whole body along your leg. If your cat is doing this, you should give him lots of pets and affection. Pet him, scratch his head, and snuggle with him. He will love you even more!
oh my gosh yes,that’s true. The other two do headbunting ,too-& he purrs,of course doing this. but here’s the funny part-he’ll be purring but many times he’ll change to a higher octave in purring and I’m talking to him & ask him....”are you singing”? lol....
