Why do cats head butt - Brandy - my tabby comes over to me every now and then and head butts, gets a head scratch and then trots off. Vicki walks over and gives me one hell of a thwack and I figure its a hell of a way to get attention. She will head butt my hand, chin, elbow but mainly my head and I figure its for attention- is this something both my crazy cats do or is it a common thing? or am I just a plane crazy cat lover.
Also - how is it that cats have the ability to know when you are feeling low or poorly? I have been awake since the early hours this morning as my step father (60)is in hospital fighting for breath due to possible lung cancer caused by asbestos and collapsed lung. So my mind is with him and my mother - my real father lives in canada and hes not well. So I am sat in the lounge and feel a migraine coming on, take tablets and sit back - then two sets of purrs find me and goto sleep on me. How do they know I was low and not feeling well? Within a couple of hours of stroking cats - i feel a hundred per cent better - familly still ill but I feel better and cats are nigh on cloud 9 with pleasure- vicki still love nipping me.
What do cats know that we cannot pick up on?
If you see someone without a smile - give them yours - its a reflection on you.
