What does "cat kiss" mean

A fluffy cat that starts rubbing its head against its owner's cheeks achieves one goal - to leave its scent on the person.

The desired result is achieved by the animal through the spread of pheromones from the facial glands.

Why does a pet do this? It's very simple: the animal wants to once again "mark" the owner as its "property".

And this is very good. Such behavior on the part of a cat can be called a manifestation of affection for a person.

The animal shows that it loves the person and trusts him completely.

Murlyka wants to tell her owner something like this: “I love you, I feel completely safe next to you.”

It is possible that the fluffy one also demands affection: “Pet me!”
