Cats like the American Bobtail tend to communicate with one another in a variety of ways. From marking their territory to twitching their tail or moving their ears, it’s all a cat’s way of communicating. Head butting is a form of communication as well. Head butting or head bunting in cats is a way for a cat to leave his scent and show love and affection. If your American Bobtail approaches you and starts butting his head with your head than he’s trying to claim you and let you know you’re loved. If your cat is hitting you in the face or head with his paws and running around bumping things with his head then something may be off and you should call your vet. When it’s simply head bunting your veterinarian Castle Hills, TX can tell you there’s no need to discipline. Instead, enjoy a playful moment or two with your loving cat.
