HEAD BONK? Cat Head Butting
Why do cats rub their face against things including you? What do we make of cats head-butting you and other cats? Expression of true love? Passive-aggressive cat display of dissatisfaction? The head bonk can be an adorable and, to some, odd cat behavior; if you’ve experienced it, you know it (and have felt it)! In this edition of Cat Daddy Dictionary, we explore not just the what, but the why of head bonk. Watch and discover!

    In the final days of our boy Mr Fishsticks life who was dealing with a rare form of cancer at a young age he head butted me. He saw a bug on the floor and even in terrible pain he acted instinctual to the bug. I got down on the floor with him and after the bug ran off Mr Fish head butted me. It’s forever etched on my heart. 🐱 ♥️

    We use "headbutt." When one of my cousins was super young like 5 or 6, she didn't know why my cat would headbutt or "mark" her whenever she would calmly sit and pet him. I explained it was a sign of affection, and it became like our "secret handshake." She is practically 16 now and whenever I see her we still headbutt each other lol. It's hilarious seeing how other people react lol.

    I remember one night when our then-toddler son was screaming his head off and wouldn't sleep. Nothing we did would calm him. This went on for almost an hour until our huge orange cat hopped up on the bed, walked over the baby, and pressed his head into our son's head. Instant silence. The baby calmed down and went peacefully to sleep with the cat watching over him. We had to put that cat down a year ago because of cancer, and not a day goes by that we don't all miss him. He was greedy, rather dumb, and prone to pouting if he didn't get his way, but also the most patient, loving, cat that ever lived.

    I think our dog understands the bonk. He's a puppy so he usually wants to play with her, but when he's nice and calm our kitten, who's only 6 lbs with a full stomach at nearly a year old, will head-bonk right into his open, panting mouth. She'll even steal food out of his mouth because of the trust they have.

    When my kid was little we didn’t have cats but he always seemed drawn to them. He vastly preferred cats to dogs, or even people. Anyway, as a toddler he didn’t like being kissed, so instead he started head-bonking. It got to the point where it was a very normal exchange to go: Me: can I give you a kiss? Him: **shakes head no** Me: what about bonks? Can I have bonks? Him: **grins and enthusiastically bonks my forehead** The hard part was getting extended family members to respect his choice not to give/receive kisses. Anyway, I used to joke that he liked cats so much that he was turning in to one. Now he’s a pre-teen and still obsessed with cats. We have a cat now and the cat takes every opportunity to head-bonk him.

    The head bonk montage brought tears to my eyes. After two weeks of declining health from an unidentified illness my beloved barn cat Teacup passed away August 9th…. Five days after her 4th birthday. She got special privileges and was brought in the house to share my room often. She would head bonk my hand and ankles regularly. If I slept in later than my usual alarm on my days off she would bonk me to wake me up, then reach under the blanket or pillow to tap my face when I stayed asleep, finally picking up and dropping my glasses on the glass end table just enough to make noise that I got up. Smart little fart figure out putting on my glasses was the first thing I always did when I woke up. Being a barn cat, it isn’t unusual to not see her for a few days. As the days are going by it is sinking in that I won’t see her and it’s hard. Trying to keep the good memories in mind but the tears are still coming. Being raised on a farm I’ve lost barn cats but this is different…. this was my Teacup. I miss her 2am wake-up-to-snuggle-me head bonks.

    My cat, Maximum(13), loves hanging out around human's feet(even when said feet are walking). It's cute but also dangerous for both parties 😅 that being said, there have been times where I accidentally step on his paw or if I'm mid stride and he darts in front of me, I accidentally lightly kick him. I used to freak out because I didn't know how to communicate to him that it was not intentional. One day it happened and Max was not having a good day so he reacted pretty angrily(usually he brushes it off). I didn't know what to do so I got down on the floor to his level and gave him a head bonk and he bonked me back. Now if I ever need to express an apology to Max I give him a head bonk and 9/10 times he'll give one back and it's like our version of "I'm sorry" "It's okay". 😭❤ I love my little catson!

    One of our cats, Binky, was initially more distant and less confident than his sibling after they began to settle into their forever home. A surprising sign that he was becoming more comfortable was when he began to head bonk as a form of greeting; he really engaged with momentum. His name is Bonky on these occasions. His sibling rarely bonks, but they both regularly greet us with welcoming behaviors.

    My male is very gentle and and loves following up with giving my nose a very gummy nose pass. Where he makes sure he rubs his gums on the tip of my nose, not always the nicest especially after eating fish. However I love it when he crawls up and lies on his back in the crook of armpit stretching so he can rest his forehead on my cheek. We can lie like that for ages and if I move my head even slightly of his head he will stretch even further to make sure to keep that contact. It is his favourite way to fall asleep when we have a nap together, he even makes happy noises in his sleep as sound I never hear otherwise it is like a happy sigh.

    I don’t get head bonks so much from the “cool guy” in my trio of feline family members, but he’s a big guy & almost every nite he gives me his version of CPR… I keep a fleece throw on my bed & he waits until I cover my chest & neck with it to protect against the weapons on the ends of his toes to then climb on my belly & believe me, his “making biscuits” truly is closer to CPR. When he’s satisfied he’s done his job quite completely, he lays down & gets right up to my mouth to smell my breath. Sometimes he follows up with one small little “lickie” in the same spot every time on my cheek just below my left eye. He loves me❣️ 😻😻😻

    I just adopted two 11 year old bonded pair of cats from my local shelter last Sunday. When I first met them & starting talking to them & very cautiously pet them a little bit. They were laying there glued together & they started the head rubbing thing to each other. I just melted & cried a little when I saw it. I thought for sure they must have been giving each other, not only some love, but, a message that they liked me. It's been a week & I still have them in my bedroom where they are still sleeping or hiding behind my headboard & one seems to come out for some love more than the other. But, we're still trying to get to know each other & they are very scared about any loud or sudden movements. I haven't been able to pick them up yet & I still haven't heard them meow. I put a camera up in my room so I can see when they come out to investigate the room when I'm downstairs or out getting supplies. I hope they come out more when I'm in the room & eventually venture out to downstairs where I'm hoping their food will be instead of my room. They like to sleep all day & are more awake at night. I know they are 11 but I still worry.

    Seeing all those cat bonks was just beautiful! ❤️ and it made me chuckle that dogs are puzzled by it. I haven't heard this actual term before but one of my cats likes to climb up from my lap with me supporting his rear so he can put his paws on my shoulders. He sometimes starts too rough, with claws digging deep in my skin as he pulls himself up (ouch) and bonks his head really hard against me - he gets very easily over-stimulated and excitable at the start of play, cuddles, treats, food.. - but my gentle strokes and scritches quickly calm him, and he then relaxed and rests his head in the crook of my neck and against my cheek, and gently rubs his face all over my shoulder, neck, face and hair. It's just the most adorable thing and I feel so loved when he does it. The gouges in my skin and loose teeth are so worth it (it's actually not that bad, I swear! 😆). He often falls asleep with his head in the crook of my neck whilst I gently support him, and it really does feel like an affectionate snuggle hug. My other cat doesn't rub and bonk in the same way, but he presses into neck finger scritches and it's so sweet when he does that. He also loves to lie out on my adult son's chest with his body stretched right out lying on his tummy, a front paw over each shoulder, and his head resting under my son's chin, and he sleeps like that. ❤️❤️ My son wakes up with a sore back from not moving for ages 😁 that's love for sure ❤️

    This is actually why I was so drawn to my black cat, DiNozzo. His name got my attention, but his head bonk is why I fell in love right away. When the rescue handed him to me to see how we interacted, he clung to me and gave me a little head bonk. It had been years since I had an affectionate cat. Now I have three of them. This video made some sense of my cat Loki. He never really head bonked until after I adopted DiNozzo. Now he does it all the time. Perhaps he learned it from DiNozzo. Loki was a feral kitten who was bottle fed by humans and didn't seem to quite know how to properly cat in the beginning. I had a companion cat who monopolized me, and after she passed, Loki started to become more affectionate. He's 16 now and head bonks me a lot. DiNozzo will head bonk any part of me, even my butt if I'm standing in front of him when he's on the couch. He also will not leave the dog alone sometimes, constantly rubbing up against her and standing on his hind legs to bonk her snout. She tolerates it, but is usually confused and looking to us for help, especially if she's trying to eat. DiNozzo is definitely my little goofball. I love him so much.

The dog was a golden retriever, the cat was just, sweet, ordinary tabby. While we chatted, the dog lounged not far from where I was sitting, and a few minutes later, the family cat came up, sniffed at the dog, and gave him a head bonk. The dog just sat there, tongue lolling, tail wagging. HE knew. And as soon as I saw it, i said, "Awww! They're buds!" Our host agreed, yes, they were.

    I remember a few months ago we had to take one of our cats to the vet in order to check him for an urinary infection (of which he has recovered nicely), he ended up having to be sedated since he was too stressed to give a sample. I remember that I ended up getting stressed as the sedative started to work on him, since we’d recently lost another cat, and I was paranoid that something would go wrong and we’d lose this one too. I remember he clumsily tottered his way over to me, and leaned on me for a bit, then, right as he was about to pass out, he gave me his first ever head butt. I’m never gonna forget that, even though he probably felt weird, he saw how nervous I was and tried to calm me down. He now does that little headbutt constantly and is one of his primary ways of showing affection.

    Your passion for cats and your knowledge about them is unbelievable! I wish there were more people in the world like you! My girls (4) give me head bonks all the time, and I LOVE it! One will actually bonk and leave her head against mine so I can kiss her ! She won't move her head until I do! Unconditional love, that's why cats are my life.!!

    We rescued a Bengal Beautiful markings! But HE was an astounding cat. No matter what he had looked like. Never tried to even nip us. Never scratched us. He chose us, after being dumped near our house (area cat dump site). No fear, just came up to us and always came out to see us when we pulled in. After a couple mos, we went out of town a week. The feral colony was tended to by neighboring ppl. We noticed he had lost weight right away. Food aggression happens so we tried sticking round after feeding to make sure he got enough. And we fed him at night too. Within another week, he was gaunt. He had little interest in food but drank ALOT. He had diarrhea. His eyes starting being goopy a few days after we had returned too. We put him on canned food, brought him in to get out of the terrible cold (he had become somewhat listless too) and started him on small amounts often, thru the night too. He gradually regained his appetite, the diarrhea continued. He didn’t put on weight. The diarrhea abated but he was still was so thin n slept often. After a few weeks, him skeletal, despite eating 2-3 cans of food a day-I started looking for a vet to put him down for an affordable fee. $30 was our max. I haven’t been working. We found nothing and his last 12 hrs were often horrific. Again, we had to do hospice with a feline. I would have given my arm for that sweet boy. He picked us to spend his last months with. He KNEW he was terminal long before we knew he was sick. I have never interacted with a cat like him. He never even complained till he was seizing as his body systems shut down. Then it was involuntary yowls. Once he was paralyzed (last 8 hrs) his eyes still followed us and would reopen if he hadn’t heard a voice in awhile then he did. He loved us to the bitter end. An amazing cat. Sry for the ramble. He just died 7 days ago.

He was docked on one ear, meaning he had been neutered as a feral. I wonder if he didn’t get dumped here but made his way here (way way out in country) to find us so he would be cared for. I truly wonder this. We have done much for this colony since April. I think God guided Siberia here to us.

    Seeing that montage reminded me of how both my kitties, despite the short amount of time I’ve had them so far, already have grown to love and trust me. I must be doing something right! My little baby boy is being neutered at the time of writing this and he head bonked me this morning to wake me up since I put their food dishes away (fasting as per required for the appointment). My older girl seemed to enjoy having a little peace and quiet when I came home after dropping him off, but I see them head bonking and grooming each other daily. She just won’t admit that she misses him, I bet.
