Because they're marking you with scent, not cuddling. They don't want your stink on them.

Turnabout's fair play.

Rubs cat under his armpits

Great, now your cat has a musk fetish. Look at what you've done.

Soon said cat will drive a Tesla and invest in crypto for sure.

Best to euthanize, put all the other cats who have to listen to it rant out of their misery

My cat loves this. He closes his eyes and angles his head down when I get my face close, to let me rub the top of his head with my nose. Super adorable.

My cat pushes the bridge of her nose into the bridge of my nose, as long as I'm gentle I can push back a little and she starts purring.

Is it affection, or a dominance display?

Cat be like: Don't rub your ugly face on my precious fur! That's disgusting!

Meanwhile Dog be like: You rub your face on me? NOICE!!!! Prepare for a tongue-attack! Shlopshlopshlopshlopshlopshlopshlopshlopshlop

My cat actually likes this, so long as I'm not clean shaven.

1 of my 2 cats is the same, she loves nuzzling in my beard when we're watching TV. The other one subscribes to the philosophy from the meme. She loves to rub my face and lick my nose but if I reciprocate with a kiss or face rub of my own she's like "Yo wtf man?".

This is the cat version of "no take, only throw".

My cat sticks her snout in my mouth if she wants face smooches.

Do you then go like Pac-Man?

Waka Waka?

my mom's cats enjoy being breathed on. the stinkier the breath the better. they'll actually try to stick their head in my mom's mouth. it's gross and fascinating.

My parents' cat likes to be greeted by mutual face sniffing, she's adorable. she also likes to be hugged and used as a pillow wherever she's napping 😁

[–] Lexam@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago

I have a beard and my cats love it when I rub my face on them.

[–] Th4tGuyII@fedia.io 6 points 1 month ago

One of mine will let me do it, on her terms of course. The other bolts if you even think about it, despite being the more aggressive headbutter

[–] Steak@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

My cats loves it. I love it too
