Cat Forum / General Topics / January 2006What is the equivalent of a kiss to a cat?
As subject. > As subject. Depends on the cat. They show affection in so many ways; many will lick your hand or face, my Missy won't do that but she will headbutt sometimes..! Some say that if you look into a cat's eyes and they give you a slow blink, i.e. close and open their eyes over a period of 5 seconds or so, that can be regarded as the equivalent of a kiss..!

SignatureDiana <http://personal.bellsouth.net/d/r/drdrive/hereiam.html> I love it when my cat rubs her cheek on my cheek. I don't know if that is equivalent to a kiss but I know it is affectionate. > I love it when my cat rubs her cheek on my cheek.

That's marking you with her scent, so she knows you're hers :-) Ivor >> I love it when my cat rubs her cheek on my cheek.

The cat is marking you as her teritory so that other cats know that you are claimed territory. "That is my human, stay away." When a cat rubs against a leg, a chair, etc. a cat is putting it's scent on everything to let other cats know this territory (the house, the bed, the human, etc. are all claimed territory. ------------------------------------------ http://www.barnabascollins.blogspot.com > > > I love it when my cat rubs her cheek on my cheek.

I think it is also a way for friendly cats to communicate. Surely a cat that enjoys the company of another cat would not be repelled by the scent of that cat. > As subject.

My friend Sheba was the world champion at headbutting :-) www.g6urp.co.uk/sheba Ivor it's a bite that leaves an impression but does not cut through the skin. >> > As subject. >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Ivor Then our Kujo must be in second place. : -) > As subject. Cats are not restricted to stereotypical forms of affection. If you cat lets you touch its paws without pulling them under their chest, that's a good sign, imo. If they jump on your shoulders, it seems to me to be very trusting. Head butts are nice and when they sleep near you and extend a paw to touch you while they are asleep, it's cool. One of my cats licked my lips today. I think he did that same thing about 2 hears ago. It was very nice, although i would not admit it in public. : -) |
