Everyone has seen how cats rub their muzzles against everything they can reach – they enjoy contact with furniture, walls and people.

The fact is that in most cases a cat relies on smell to obtain information.

Their sense of smell helps them understand what is in front of them - friend, prey or enemy.

When a cat rubs its muzzle against its owner, it leaves its scent on him, informing other animals of its claim to this object.

Sometimes such actions indicate that your pet trusts you and expresses its love.

The cat leaves a smell due to a special substance that is secreted by glands located in various parts of the body.

During the interaction, the cat leaves its scent - the more such places in the house, the more the pet feels safe.
