15. Rubbing Against Your Legs
When cats weave between your legs or rub against them, they’re doing more than greeting you—they’re marking you with their scent. Cats have scent glands on their cheeks, foreheads, and tails, which they use to claim their territory. By rubbing against you, they are asserting that you are a part of their domain.
This behavior is also a sign of affection and trust. It’s a way for cats to bond and reaffirm their connection with their human companions. Paying attention to this act of marking can help strengthen the relationship between owner and pet.
