    I had a cat who couldn’t stop rubbing their head on any limb that was available. It was cute but also quite annoying at times - especially when the object of her affection was the foot of someone trying to sleep. The cat, who was a semi feral rescue, had other strangely obsessive behaviours as well, although she did calm down later in life. She was an oddball but lived a healthy and surprisingly long life, must’ve been closer to 20 when she died some years back!

    They like to rub their upper right and left cheeks/gums on things. I think that’s common among most cats and elbows are a nice place to do it!

    One of mine loves to dig into (nuzzling and nibbling) my armpits, especially when I roll my sleeves up. I assume it’s a scent thing but you’re not alone in living with weirdos.

    do you mean that the cat is going crazy for MY elbows? or they are going crazy for their OWN elbows?

      Are cat arms a prerequisite for cat elbows? Is standing upright sufficient? And should cats be allowed to bear arms? I need to know! (No, I don’t. But I will listen.)
