It's a "this feels good" reaction. The area on their rump around their tail is an erogenous zone, so is very sensitive to touch. Scent glands are found at the base of a cat's tail, so by pushing against your hand, the cat is transferring its scent onto you, and vice versa. This is usually seen to be a sign of ownership and affection.

∙ 14y agoWell, my cat does that a lot and I think its to "absorb" the pet more when you pet them if that makes sense. When they put their tail in the air it means they're happy.

(Heat means ready to mate.)
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoIt's because of the way it feels... Like when a male cat tries to mate with them...
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoThey are probably tensing the muscles in their butt. Maybe it's just a reflex, but the cat might not like it.

∙ 13y agoI don't really know, but my two cats do it all the time. I think they have an instinct to do it.

Is petted a word?
Petted is a word.I got into a debate with my six year old daughter about this today. It shows up in the online dictionary, http://www.thefreedictionary.com/petted , and in an old 1984 Webster dictionary. Petted is definitely a word.petted is not a wordNo it is pronounced pet because petted doesn't make since when you say you petted the dog. When you say I pet the dog it makes more sense.I beg to differ, when you say "I pet the dog." it implies present tense or something you would do now. Using pet in a different way one could say "I was petting the dog." But for some sentences petted would be appropriate, "The dog was petted yesterday." is grammatically correct especially when compared to "The dog was pet yesterday." As you can probably see, the second variation implies present tense but does not agree with the tense implied by yesterday. Lastly, one who really wishes to explore this topic might check any dictionary under the inflected forms of the verb pet.
