Those pics are sad. They all look like they have a bad headache.

I'm not going to look at the pictures but I'll pass the information on to my family members with dogs and cats.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

Re: Head pressing behavior in pets

I got scared reading this because my cat does this on occasion. My understanding is that bunting is normal for cats.

What is the illness, Gato?

I have 2 cats, and they head-butt as a sign of affection?


Head butting in cats is called bunting. It's normal. My baby is a serial bunter.{#emotions_dlg.laugh}

Yes. Bunting is very affectionate, loving, and awesome. {#emotions_dlg.devil2}
