I went for a morning walk today and a cat rubbed itself against me. I have never had a pet cat before so I thought it was strange. When I came home, I searched it up and got this video. Now I feel good because a strange cat wanted my body fragrance 😸😸 ❤️❤️

Wonderful to know that, but they actually greet you to kindly body language from cats . How are you doing? Comfort somewhat of time together as well as senses.
