Nowadays, more and more people are having pets, so after accumulating their own experience, many people really want to have a cat because cats are very comfortable to hold and are very clingy, always rubbing against their owners, which makes owners very fond of them. Generally, cats are gentle and only show some aggressive behavior when their own safety is threatened. Therefore, nowadays many people increasingly like to have a cat, and this is related to many people's lazy mindset. Many people also really want to know why cats like to rub against their owners so much?

Actually, this is somewhat related to cats' emotional expression. We all know animals do not have language; their emotional communication is done through their body movements or by secreting some hormones for certain exchanges. So communication between cats and humans crosses species, and without language as a medium, it is difficult to communicate. Therefore, when cats rub against people, they are expressing a kind of emotion, meaning they really like their owners and are telling their owners, "You are mine, not someone else's," which is also a form of possessiveness.

Many observant people have noticed that cats like to use their heads to rub against people the most. This is because some parts of a cat's face secrete a special pheromone, which is a medium for emotional communication among cats. However, since humans do not understand this, the behavior of cats rubbing people is sometimes not comprehended. Yet, most people believe this is a sign that the cat is close to them. Some also say that cats rubbing people is actually a way of scratching an itch—because their head is itchy and they cannot scratch it themselves, so they resolve the itch by rubbing against people. This explanation also seems to have some reason. But ultimately, it is still because cats like their owners.

Nowadays, more and more people like raising cats because in many people's eyes, cats are very gentle, and they like you genuinely, showing possessiveness and are very clingy. Moreover, many people like cats rubbing against people. They believe this is a way cats express their need for security, as well as a way to communicate emotionally with humans. If the cat you raise keeps rubbing its head against you, do not push it away; you can try to hold it.
