AnswerCats often touch their owners face to show love and affection. By "touch", I mean softly placing his or her paws to the owners face. If he/she is using their claws in a slapping manner, it is interpreted as "leave me alone".

it means it wants its nose stroking or that it likes you

- Yes it can also mean that they are asking you for something. Also if you kiss your cat on the nose often, it might be simply doing what you do to the cat. Many cat and dog owners kiss their pet on the nose. The pet will get use to this, and do the same back.

If it is not that, then most likely it is because it is making a gesture that it wants something ie your attention, food, or just a simple habit.

Cats have wet noses because they lick them just like dogs

A cat is among many animals that use their noses to taste what they are smelling. Also, that helps wild animals detect danger. If you have seen a cat smelling something, keep watching...it will lick its nose too.

they like to see you up close and sniff you to let you know that they love you, as long as you do their bidding! Remember you were put on this Earth to only tend to their needs! (I know of which I speak! lol)

There are two schools of thought for this. Firstly, cats will rub themselves as a sign of affection, especially rubbing faces or noses. Cats do this to rub their scent on you, and yours scent on them. Cats have many scent glands on their face, and "sharing" scents is just a way of saying "we have a close bond".

Answer

When they are babies, kittens push their paws against their mother's belly, to get the milk flowing. They look like they are kneading bread dough, basically.

Most cats continue this kneading behavior for the rest of their lives, as it reminds them of their mothers. They will knead blankets, or clothes, or people. Even very old cats do this.

Answer

Or maybe they just feel like it.

Cats touch their owner's face with their nose as a sign of affection. These are both a signal that the cat is happy and content.

The cat is anxious or afraid. Dogs do the same thing, for the same reason.

It is a sign of affection and because their noses are very sensitive so they might also be trying to figure out something. Posted By: The Sons of Plunder

They are either showing affection or trying to rub their scent on you to show "ownership"
