There are many ways cats respond to stimuli. Depending on the cat, they might purr, meow, or rub up against you.
I heard that cats rub their heads against you to get their scent all over you. It's a sign of ownership; they are saying, "This is my human."
They lick your hand and rub their head up against your hands
My cats show their affection when they rub up against my leg
the purr when they are relaxed and when the rub against ur legs that means they want luvin
Cats normally great each other by rubbing faces. When a cat greets you by standing on its hind legs it is trying to reach your face. If you kneel down the cat will rub its face against yours. They only do it to people they trust. Another way is to roll over, stretching its legs, yawning and exercising its claws.
The cat is "marking" you with it's scent, especially if you were near another cat or dog.
You are creating static electricity.
When cats rub against someone leg they are marking their teritory; so when other cats come along they know that you belong to another cat and then they will rub against you to mark their teritory and so it goes on.Cats also rub your legs to show affection or because they are hungry. My female boss cat only does this when I am standing close to her food bowl or I have lunch meat in hand.
Friction makes things (like soles) rub away
Cats will rub their backs or bodies on you when being petted to transfer its scent onto you.
