Cats rub against objects and people to scent mark. It can be seem as a mark of affection but it's just the cat saying "This is mine". |

Cats have scent glands in their face and they are scent marking "their" territory. This sort of marking usually means that your cat is happy and contented, as opposed to marking with urine spray. |
