Rubbing on things When cats rub their head on things it is a sign of them transferring their scent. This behaviour is usually them making sure they have your full attention and can be a sign of affection from your cat. |

Anxious When a cat is feeling anxious they tend to walk closer to the ground with their tail down. They will look around and may scurry. Their eyes will be wide open and they will not blink alot. If they are feeling like this they will often try and find a safe place to hide. |
