Why your cat headbutts you and what it means

Why Cats Headbutt You 🐱❤️ (Bunting Explained)

If your cat gently headbutts you, it’s actually a sweet behavior called bunting.

Cats do this to:
• Show affection and trust
• Mark you with their scent (you’re “family” to them)
• Bond the way wild cats like lions greet each other

It’s their way of saying: “You belong to me.” 🐾

How to tell if it’s love:

✔ Relaxed body & purring = affection
✔ Gentle rubbing = bonding
❌ Pulling away = they need space

So yes—when your cat headbutts you, it’s usually one of the highest compliments in the cat world. ❤️
