Unraveling the Mysteries of Strange Cat Behaviors

"Bunting"

Receiving a gentle head bump from your cat, or "bunting," signifies that you're in its good graces! When your cat rubs its head against you, it marks you with its pheromones. This communicates that you belong to them, which in the cat world translates to affection.

In stressful environments, bunting is also an effective way for cats to create a sense of calm and comfort. A few head-rubs on objects in the room, and they'll feel right at home.
