  So I’d like to think I know a good deal about bun behavior. I know what to look for if Foo is being agressive (as if, that three pound bundle of fur agressive? Never!), know grooming means love, chinning means it’s mine, etc. However, Ms. Foo has me stumped now. The past few days, when I’ve been snuggling or playing with her, she has been just rubbing her face on me. Not her chin, but her mouth and cheeks. Is this another form or grooming or love or am I being sized up for a future meal? As always, thanks guys!

  Is she rubbing or bonking? Both of mine will come up and give me a good nudge when they want something. It will be with their nose/mouth.

  She’s rubbing, like at first I thought maybe she had something on her face, but I checked. She’ll just rub her face on me if I’m sitting with her.

  That just sounds incredibly gentle, affectionate and sweet.

  I’m jealous. It sounds like a form of affection. Does she lick or taste you at all? You may be a bit salty. Yum! Or smell good to her. (Any fragrant facial products?)

  She licks clothes, she will not lick bare skin though. Everything I wear is tropical or fruity smelling so I cam see how I would smell good to her.
  
  And good, at least the concensus is thay ita a good thing. =)

  My bun does this to me as well. She rubs her mouth and face against my hands or even my face sometimes when i bend down to nuzzle her. I think its also a sign of affection. She usually does it when she is very relaxed and we are cuddling.
