My youngest daughter, who is 10, has always been a very affectionate
person. Thus her nickname, Herbie (you know after the Volkswagen bug,
Herbie Love Bug). Myself, DH, and my oldest daughter (15) show Sassy
affection with skritches and pettings, but Herbie rubs faces with
Sassy. I finally asked her last night why she does this. Her reply was
"Mommy, she doesn't pet me with her feet, so I don't pet her with
mine. We share kitty kisses" She then told me, "Mommy, you try it,
its nice". So I did and I must admit that it feels really good.
So everyone go and try kitty kiss with you furbabies and see what you
think.
Skritches,
KittyLady

Awww, I've always done that, and never had a name for it, so thank
Herbie for me.

I sure will, after thinking about it, it makes since. Cats have a lot
of scent glands in the heads and necks so doing Kitty Kisses just makes
Sassy's job of marking stuff as her's a little easier.

Persia does it to me more than I do it to her! She comes up and rubs her
soft little cheeks against my face (marking me, of course). They are kitty
kisses!

She is an understanding child.
She is actually a little too grown for her own britches. She trys to
much to be as old as her sister.
Kitty Kiss her for me. MLB
Oh she will love that. A Kitty Kiss greeting when she comes home from
school today.
Skritches,
KittyLady and Sassy who is glad that other kitty's get Kitty Kisses too!

These Kitty Kisses are bonding and scent marking. Because of this,
Sassy and Herbie will always have a special relationship.
Most women have had the opportunity to rub the face with a soft fur
coat or fabric. It is a sensuous feeling. I wonder if this is a
holdover from primitive humans having facial scent glands like a cat?

I do this with Frank all the time. I think that because his scent is all
over my face, Nikki doesn't like my face too close to her. Obviously, my
face is the property of Frank. ;o)

The cats have trained your daughter well. :-)
