Your cat loves to rub up against things in your home, and you are no exception to this rule. Why does she tend to do this to both household objects as well as people?

Your pet needs you to take the time to understand her a bit better in order to get why this behavior makes sense to her. Cats tend to claim their territory by attempting to impart their scent onto the things and people they consider to be theirs. This means that your pet is essentially claiming the items she rubs up against as her own. Leaving her scent behind will let other animals know that she has claimed these areas, and it will, in theory, help them keep out of her territory because of this.
