Now that my cat has forgiven me for having her spayed (Soon as she was up to it she went upstairs and weed on my bed, just the once, to make a point I think), she is very keen on rubbing the sides of her face on my face. Is this some kind of scent marking thing?

YES! She is marking you! I think it's a cat way of saying your mine, I like you!

my Roxy does it all the time, Leo too but not as often!

How sweet! and the kittie is leaving scent by doing this!

My Roxy stating kneading on me the day after I got her back from being spayed, and she does that everyday now too!

(she didn't knead on me before beign spayed)

This is very cute and I feel it is a sign of affection
Saki rubs his face against mine and licks my earlobes while purring loudly


Zoey constantly rubs her face against my legs, hands, etc.

Yes, I believe its affection. My Cheeto head buts me, plus rubs his face against mine all the time. Plus my new little guy Charlie, licks my face (yuck), but its their sign of affection. Yeah, for lovey dovey kitties.
