Boop meaning dog skin#

When you pet your cat, rub his ears, and scratch under his chin, you are leaving your skin dander and skin oils on your cat, too. This communication is not one way, however. These glands are located around the mouth and chin, along the sides of the face, and around the ears. Cats will rub their face and body (side rub) but the face has many scent glands, so much of the rubbing is with the face. This claim is not dominant or possessive, however, as much as it is sharing scent and showing the world that the two of you belong together.
