Cats are peculiar creatures. Even their die-hard fans admit they tend to have a cold-and-hot nature. Some felines are open books who love cuddles and basically everyone they meet. But they are the exception. Most cat owners

are tasked with trying to understand their finicky behavior. However, learning feline body language can make it easier to train and bond with these adorable pets. And no behavior can be more confusing than the rubbing up or “bunting”.

One strange cat behavior is rubbing up on humans and other animals. Most of the time, it’s a positive sign, but it’s often more than that. Felines have scent glands around their faces, heads, and base of their tails.

These glands hold pheromones, which are wiped onto their surroundings. So when they rub or headbutt people or items, cats are marking their territory with their pheromones.
