Why Do Cats Show Their Buttholes?
When your cat sticks her tush in your face, what she's really doing is simply asking for attention and affirmation. When you pet your cat, she regards that as an act of being social and affectionate. So, sticking her bum right up in your space is a way of saying, β€œhey!

Why do cats keep show their Buttholes?

Not only will cats rub their own scent on one another, but they'll also sniff their companions to confirm their identity, to see what they've been up to, and to generally just say "hello." That includes their butts, which also contain glands that are rich with scent information.

Why do cats shove their bum in your face?

Your cat wants affection.

For some cats, shoving their butt in your face means they want to be petted. While a gentle pat from the paw would do, a bum in the face is a sure-fire way to get into your line of sight and snag a little extra attention.
