Hi, it is difficult to tell for sure but normally when they are rubbing they release some pheromones and this is could be encouraged if you have any unfamiliar smells that perhaps you can't detect. For example if you have have been around other pets or people. One of my cats got crazy after I had my newborn, she would rub non stop and she also marked my leg when I was holding him ! I am not 100% sure why she would want to stay close to your head, perhaps a sense of security ? Are there any chances that Luna could be pregnant ?

Why does my cat rub its head on my wet hair when I get out of shower?

Cats rub their heads on things as a way to mark with their scent or even pick up scents from things that they like. Your cat may just be showing affection or may enjoy shampoo or soap that you use in the shower and maybe picking up that sent by head bunting.

Why does my cat only rub on me at home, especially after trips?

Cats typically rub on things that they are trying to reclaim, especially when they are on inanimate objects. If you go away from the home, with Chandler, and then come back home, he is likely trying to reclaim his possessions in the home. : ) No worries, this is natural for cats to do. For future, here is a really good resource to get into the psyche of cats a bit more for your own understanding and pleasure. They really are very unique pets to have and bring fulfillment in many ways. Take care! jacksongalaxy.com

Why does my cat rub her face on me and walls when she comes inside?

That is normal behavior. I think she is happy to be with you and inside and is rubbing her face on you and the wall as a comfort expression. Most cats like to be rubbed on the face, around the ears and under the chin so try that when she comes in and she'll probably start purring.

Is it normal for a pregnant cat to act distant and uncomfortable?

Hi there. Luna is probably preparing for motherhood. All sorts of hormonal changes are going on in her body at this time, and can cause her to behave differently. Pregnancy can also be very uncomfortable, as you've said. The best thing you can do is pet her and reassure her you are still there and her friend. Congrats on your kittens!

Why does my dog rub his face on my head and neck when I lie down?

Hello, this is likely Sirius releasing his pheromones on you in a way to show affection. This is a natural instinct and typically does not mean anything other than him showing you affection. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Why is my cat suddenly so obsessed with me and acting so clingy?

From what you are describing I sounds like you and Milo have a strong bond which is wonderful. Cats can vary greatly in their personalities and attachment levels, just like humans. if this behaviour isn’t new, I would not be concerned. If however, Milo is acting differently and you are concerned please post another question in the forum describing these new behaviours and I will help you further.

Why does my older cat keep licking my younger cat's head so much?

Your cat may be trying to bond with your younger cat, and this is normal and healthy. Make certain you don't see any signs of skin infection or ear mites or other physical issue going on, however, that would require veterinary attention. Sometimes ear infections will trigger excessive grooming among pets.
