How Cats Say Hello

Cats are always bumping their face against your legs or your face and it’s usually a sign of affection. Experts believe that a head-butt from a cat is just their own friendly way of saying hello. It’s not aggressive and it’s a sign that they like you.

If a cat head-butts you like this, it means they trust you. By bumping against you they transfer their pheromones which marks you as their own. This territory marking behavior is known as “bunting”.

Why Your Cat Lands On Its Feet

Cats are known for landing on their feet. This is because they have extra vertebrae in their spine. In other words, they have a flexible backbone so they can twist their body when they are falling.
