Ten days until Merry Catmas! Ever notice your cat rubbing their cheeks, chin, or forehead on you? That’s not just affection, it’s science AND love! Cat's have scent glands in their cheeks, chin, lips and forehead! When your cat rubs their face on you, furniture, or even other pets, they’re releasing pheromones, natural chemical signals that help them feel safe and comfortable.
This behavior helps cats:
🐱 Mark their trusted people
🐱Reduce stress
🐱 Create a familiar, calming environment
So the next time your cat head-butts or cheek-rubs you, take it as the highest compliment. You’ve officially been claimed!
