class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>What is this? When a cat rubs its mouth on you, it is spreading this scent on you, marking you as theirs. This may sound strange, but it&#8217;s their way of saying I love you. In the wild, cats rub their teeth, gums, and whole bodies against other members in their pack <b>as a sign of affection<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_my_cat_rub_the_side_of_his_mouth_on_corners\"><\/span>Why does my cat rub the side of his mouth on corners?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Almost certainly what your cat is doing is <b>marking his territory with facial hormone or pheromones, which are released from glands in the facial skin. If you observe carefully you will probably see he is rubbing with both sides of his face.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_do_cats_rub_their_cheeks_against_objects\"><\/span>Why do cats rub their cheeks against objects?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Cats love to rub up against their owners. This movement may involve their entire body or sometimes just their foreheads and cheeks. Most owners see this as a sign of affection and welcome this behaviour. When cats rub against objects, <b>they are transferring their scent<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_my_cat_rubbing_her_face_on_everything_and_meowing\"><\/span>Why is my cat rubbing her face on everything and meowing?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The reason that cats keep rubbing against everything when anxious is <b>related to scent communication and pheromones. When a cat can smell their own scent through their pheromones, it makes them feel at ease. Pheromones are produced in glands found on their paw pads, chin, temples, and ears.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_my_cat_rub_her_teeth_on_things\"><\/span>Why does my cat rub her teeth on things?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This may sound strange, but <b>it&#8217;s their way of saying I love you.

Staring at a wall sounds like the most boring thing you could do  it&#8217;s even less exciting than watching paint dry. It seems like your cat is staring and meowing at nothing, and for no reason.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_my_cat_meowing_so_much_all_of_a_sudden_at_night\"><\/span>Why is my cat meowing so much all of a sudden at night?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Your cat might meow at night because <b>they feel bored, unstimulated, lonely or just want to go outside. If your cat won&#8217;t stop crying at night even when they have plenty of play time, other causes to consider are thyroid or kidney disease.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_my_cat_rubbing_her_teeth_on_everything\"><\/span>Why is my cat rubbing her teeth on everything?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This may sound strange, but <b>it&#8217;s their way of saying I love you.

Sometimes when they rub on things, <b>they&#8217;re trying to leave a scent for others to read.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_my_cat_rub_her_face_on_hard_things\"><\/span>Why does my cat rub her face on hard things?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Leaving Scent Marks<\/b> When a cat rubs his face on an item, he leaves his scent behind. The act of a cat rubbing his head on objects is called bunting. The height of the object determines which part of his head a cat will use to leave a scent mark on an item.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_my_cat_keep_rubbing_against_things\"><\/span>Why does my cat keep rubbing against things?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When cats rub against objects, <b>they are transferring their scent. It is almost as if they are claiming ownership and we are one of their belongings. Your cat head-butting or nuzzling your face deposits scent from glands in their cheek area.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_my_cat_walk_around_the_house_meowing_loudly\"><\/span>Why does my cat walk around the house meowing loudly?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Your cat simply wants attention.<\/b> Don&#8217;t respond every time your cat meows  instead, give them attention when they get quiet. If your cat keeps meowing, walk away until they calm down. Walking away is for excessive meowing, but do be sure to spend time with your cat every day (they are part of your family, after all).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_my_cat_like_rubbing_her_face_on_corners\"><\/span>Why does my cat like rubbing her face on corners?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The reason for this is because <b>cats have a lot of scent glands around their heads: around their mouth, their chin, their cheeks, their neck and their ears. These scent glands are activated when cats bunt against things and this is their way of marking their territory and claiming ownership of their environment.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_my_cat_rub_his_face_on_sharp_objects\"><\/span>Why does my cat rub his face on sharp objects?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Most owners see this as a sign of affection and welcome this behaviour.
