if they rub their cheek against you they are scent marking you and claiming you as their own, if patting with retracted claws, they want to play (unless old (16+) in whitch case they are probably trying to scratch you) and if scratching you, you have hurt them or anoyed them, do not hurt them or shout back, simply walk away.
patting uh... sometimes people refer to stroking as petting ex: I was petting my cat
Your cat is content and extremely happy while making this noise if you are stroking it and showing it affection. However if the cat is doing it randomly and seems in pain get to a vet, the purring can often be a sign of pain.
Cats enjoy being stroked for several reasons: * It stimulates certain glands that have endorphins * it creates a general bond between owner and cat * stroking also feels like licking to the cat...as if they are being groomed by their mother or another cat. * it also calms them down and helps in keeping them alert and awake by stimulating the parts of the spinal cord think like a cat!
Stroking or cuddling the pet. This releases "feel-good" hormones in both the pet and the petter.
Not all felines will exhibit a licking behavior when their back is being scratched. The licking behavior, while common, is more of an individualistic behavior, and most likely a grooming response. When the cats back is being scratched, the cat feels something similar to self grooming or grooming from another cat, and some will lick the air in time with the stroking. Licking in response to stroking or scratching is not necessarily a species wide behavior however, and not all cats will react similarly. A response that is very close to being species wide is the movement when the base of their tail is scratched. Most cats will stiffen the legs and tail, raising their posterior high on straightened legs and many will additionally appear to point their lower jaw, stiffen the neck and turn their head toward their back. Most experts suggest that cats enjoy having the base of their tail scratched... 1.) Because it is sexually stimulating, and 2.) because this is an area inhabited by fleas and scratching there relieves an itch. I suspect that both may be factual. It is not advisable to attempt this scratching on a cat you are not very familiar with, as some will be inclined to bite when the base of their tail is scratched; especially if the scratching is done a bit too aggressively.
yes they love it
keep stroking the cat
I take this question to mean: what do you call that part of a sentence which receives the action of the verb? If the sentence is in the active voice, it is the object that receives the action of the verb: 'My mother was stroking her cat' ('her cat' is the object of the verb 'was stroking', and is also the recipient of the action of stroking). If the sentence is in the passive voice, it is the subject that receives the action of the verb: 'The cat was being stroked by my mother' ('the cat' is the subject of the verb 'was being stroked', and is also the recipient of the action of stroking).

To make a magnet by stroking, you can rub a piece of iron or steel with an existing magnet in the same direction multiple times. This process aligns the magnetic domains within the material, creating a magnetic field in the iron or steel.
Cats enjoy being petted. They like having their ears and neck scratched. Petting or stroking should be done from front to back, or head toward tail, and gently. Cats do NOT like rough play. In fact, if you train your cat to tolerate rough play, eventually they will use their claws and teeth to fight back. DO NOT TRAIN KITTENS TO EXPECT ROUGH TOUCHING OR JOSTLING!

To get a cat used to being held, start by gently petting and stroking them to build trust. Gradually lift and hold them for short periods, offering treats and praise. Be patient and consistent, allowing the cat to set the pace for physical contact.
It basically is a love bite meaning that it loves you, a lot. As long as you don't bleed and it doesn't break the skin, its a love bite.
