When your cat rubs their face against your leg, they’re not just being affectionate — they’re marking you with their scent. Cats have scent glands on their cheeks and chin, and by rubbing against you, they’re claiming you as part of their territory and showing that you belong to them.
It’s also a sign of trust and comfort. Cats only rub against people and things they feel safe and bonded with.
Does your cat rub their face on you?
