Do cats insist on putting their bums in your face

No idea - but every one I've had managed to do it.

Not the most endearing of their habits!

It's a bit like the sort of doggy greeting thing. You are supposed to take a good sniff and return the gesture by sticking your bum in their face too

It's a cat greeting thing I think!

Kizzy swipes her tail across my face - I know she does it on purpose! Luckily, she hasn't actually sat on my face yet ...... a treat to look forward to I suppose!!!

Is it male or females that like to do that?

Mine are all boys, and have not sat on my face yet, but I do get a swipe with a tail now and then....

Eva sits on my face regularly, Bernie never has.
