I'm a visual editor at Bored Panda. I kickstart my day with a mug of coffee bigger than my head, ready to tackle Photoshop. I navigate through the digital jungle with finesse, fueled by bamboo breaks and caffeine kicks. When the workday winds down, you might catch me devouring bamboo snacks while binging on the latest TV show, gaming or I could be out in nature, soaking up the tranquility and communing with my inner panda.

I noticed that behavior at the end is extremely similar to what my at does with me. It's cool to see the connections between my little cat and it's wild "cousins"

Cats have their scent glands in their necks... When they rub against things in your home (and on you), it's to 'mark' it with their scent. They also 'head bonk' for affection, it's their version of showing love. Sometimes it's a straight head butt, sometimes they lead with their nose... but it's behaviour common house cats picked up from their wild distant cousins :)
