I know cats leave scent markings with glands near their eyes, so this explains why they rub against people and furniture.

But my one Bengal (Moe) is like one of those mountain dwelling Rams you see on the Discovery channel.... she head butts me 20 times a day. She is the one that really WANTS to play rough, and she doesnt seem to have any threshhold for how much wrestling/throwing/play-fighting she can endure, so I suppose it doesnt surprise me. And although it is never aggressive, I worry that she might hurt herself.

Does anyone else have a Bengal that does this alot?

Hey Jeff, I have three bengals who do this ALL the time. Infact I've just returned from the vet with Loki - a broken toe believe it or not - they are so boisterous!!

Yes! My Yuki does the same thing, tho my other two cats very rarely do it, and certainly not with as much gusto.

It's funny to get "punched" in the face first thing when you wake up in the morning. I'm sure my daily headbutts reach into the 100+ range, easy. He's just a lovey boy.

I wonder if it is a bengal thing?

Vilma also head butts me constantly - either my hands or forehead. And she does it pretty hard, too. I suppose this has to do with bengals being so playful, active and affectionate. Sometimes I'm more worried whether I get hurt when she's all excited - she, for instance, keeps climbing me & jumping onto my shoulders and sometimes manages to leave nasty scratch marks on my back and legs.
