Cat owners often notice that their pet shows unusual affection and affection, rubbing its muzzle against their legs.
Let's figure out what to expect from a cat that decides to demonstrate such behavior.
Why does a cat rub its muzzle against a person's legs?
In search of an answer to this question, it is worth turning to zoology, which says: near the corners of the eyes and around the nose of a cat are located the temporal glands.
They secrete a special secretion that the animal uses to mark its territory.
Now it becomes clear why the cat rubs against the corners of the apartment, furniture and other things.
The same principle works in relation to the owner - when a pet rubs its muzzle against his legs, it demonstrates its affection and shows that this person is his.
But one should not think that this was the only possible reason explaining such behavior of animals.
By rubbing against your legs, cats can express not only their devotion and love, but also show fear - at such moments the animal seeks closeness to its owner.
Finally, it is worth remembering that some animals enjoy the smell of human feet and simply enjoy it.
