Thread: is it normal for mainecooons to headbutt

Was wondering if it was normal for mainecoons to headbutt? Tiny Tyson is a continual headbutter and was wondering if I just had an odd one

Yes, sometimes. It's a sign of affection. No, really. Cats don't let you near their faces unless they trust you.

Two of mine are headbutters & one of those is every time he comes on your lap...x

Two of ours do too - and Sunshine rubs the side of his mouth on us too! He's quite 'rough/over-enthusiastic' with it at times at times but he's just being affectionate (at least that's what I tell my dad when he's trying to dig out his fingers to 'play' with in his mouth!!

Ours all do too .... specially when they want something! Marco in particular will come to me when I'm sitting at the computer, put a paw on my shoulder and headbutt my elbow - c'mon Mum, I'm hungry

Little Minnie does it, preferably when it's inconvenient. She headbutts my hand when I am writing, or refilling the drinking bowls from a water jug.

Mine are such serious headbutters, I am lucky I am not concussed most of the time!!
