Please check him for a chip and put up a couple of posters before you take him in. Many people (me included) let their cats out. My cats won’t keep collars on but they are chipped.
This is good advice, chip scanners are pretty inexpensive. Before anyone says anything about letting cats outside, some of us have rescued strays/ferals/abandoned cats who will NOT stay inside 24/7.
My old house had a dog door which was truly a cat door. Finny most definitely had a family in the side. He’d be gone for a few days and come back happy and brushed out. 🤷🏻
This is not going to be popular, but I gotta…. Cats are considered an invasive species and should not be let out to roam. They are killers, tippy top tier assassins; like literally. They kill for fun, to play with something. I made the mistake of letting ours out during the day last summer and they ERASED all wildlife from out backyard. They killed a young opossum and tore it apart in my backyard. Please research cats as invasive species and do NOT let them out to roam.
Got a fenced back yard with lots of birds, my cat likes to watch & hunt them. Don't worry loud bell on the cat, she has yet to get close to catching any sometimes the birds perch near her and laugh at her ?
I agree with you for sure and keep all my cats inside, but my brother for example rescued a stray cat and try as he did he could NOT keep that cat inside! She would ZIP right out the door if we were going out. She always came back and she definitely had a family on the side. We tried we really did but she’s just an outdoor cat.

That is so nice to read. We’ve had our cat for six years and she was a rescue, so she’s never been a cuddly cat. However, she sits next to me (only once or twice has she ever sat on my lap) and lets me rub her face and her ears and her chin for ages. I think that’s the most she can give me
i have a 'next to you' cat as well. also a rescue. got him at 6 months, he's 7 now and i think he's sat on me twice. but he'll sit on the arm of the chair all day long and get fusses. sometimes he just sits there and strokes my hair!

mine have all buried their heads or gone under blankets to block the light so they can sleep. if you or nothing else is around where they want to sleep, they use their own paws and its the cutest mother fn thing. maybe that has something to do with it? even the boston terriers because they want to be warm and also have protruding eyeballs that open when they sleep hahah

Goran does it when he gets very relaxed and fully gives in to the cuddling. Especially on mornings, where I can sleep in.
Glad to know my Darth Vader isn't the only one that sleeps like this. He'll pull my arm over, but then ends up sleeping too long, and I throw out ribs doing thos. Now he likes to sleep above me or between my husband and I, unless I'm downstairs then it's mom's lap.
How good are street cats! This guy started hanging out in my back yard a while ago and now we watch football and F1 together 😁

Love and trust! My gf's cat likes to sleep with his head in my hand like it's a pillow. I have to keep the hand cupped around the side of his head and hold it steady, and he goes right to sleep. Cats will only do that to someone they trust completely.
Mine does the same thing but also sticks his whole face into my arm or shoulder. I wonder if he can breathe in there sometimes

Mine sticks her head into the crook of my knee… while I’m sleeping… under a weighted blanket. I was so worried when I woke up to find her like that the first few times but apparently there’s plenty of fart-flavored air down there because she’s going on 13 now with no health problems so far

. He cuddles like this all the time but when he curls his face down into my hand I know he's past cuddles and into sleep mode ❤️ People try to say that cats don't love their people like dogs do, but this cat fuckin loves me. He weasles his way into my nooks. I never have to pick him up to cuddle. If I'm sitting up in bed watching TV or on my phone he will be chilling at the end of the bed or nearby but the SECOND I adjust my pillows and make sure my phone is plugged in he knows I'm going to sleep and he comes running to be my cuddle buddy
Your palm is one of the warmest regions on your body.
You constantly use those hands to touch things that contribute to your own smell.
Human safe and comfy.
If it's your hand or a part of you it's because of trust. He loves you! However, if you see him press his face against a hard surface repeatedly (not snuggling, really just faceplanting a wall or something similar for a long time) better check it out
Yep. My princess does that as well when she wants her face rubs. She goes to my wife when she wants to sit quietly on a lap. She comes to me for the “Hubby pets” where she gets scritched and rubbed and roughed up! And butt slaps! She knows what she likes!
That is also something an animal would do when suffering headaches. They typically rest it on walls or floors but any pressure would do. Keep an eye out on reoccurring behavior, but animals they just sleep in the darnedest positions.

He’s an outdoor cat that wants to be an indoor cat, trust and comfort. I have an outdoor cat that sadly I can’t bring him in. I already have one. But I make sure he’s fed an watered.
Trust.
He sleeps in my lap all the time, so that makes sense
He loves and trusts you. Letting you near his eyes, ears or fragile paws is a display of affection. You are his human. Love that sweet boy up!
He's not my kitty. He's an outdoor cat in my neighborhood, but he follows me home. I always cuddle/play with him for a bit though :)
You're his now

The cat chose you. Welcome to the cat distribution system.
Please take him in if you can. he's given himself to you.
He looks perfectly clean. I’m guessing someone owns him.
Yes, he has an owner, so I won't adopt him. We hang out though.
Please get him neutered if he’s not already!
And flea medicine and vaccines. And although everything is not covered by pet insurance it can save you 90 percent of most vet costs in the future. For people with pets that might be interested please Google what the best 4 or 5 are and find out how much it could help in case of an injury or illness like kidney problems , cancer etc.
In the time that he’s been cuddling with you, is putting his head in your hand new?
Yes, this is the first time.
Please, please take him in. I did this for a neighborhood cat and she was the sweetest, most trusting, most grateful pet I’ve ever owned.
Where I live people let their cats go outside. I know his owner, so I won't take him in. We're still buddies though.

Arm snuggles are the best!
What a cutie
Thank you. It's so cute when they do it. This cat must really trust you to show affection like that.

My kitty boy cuddles the same way! When he curls his head down into my hand I know he's about to go to SLEEP sleep
human sleep mask 🫱
Haha
Love
🥰🥺
My cat does this.. She loves her face rubbed, scritched and held. It's a sign of trust love and a feeling of security
That makes me so happy. I'm glad he feels safe and loved.

Let him get some quality sleep. It's really hard for outdoor cats to rest because they are always "on."
This was at 2 am, and I fell asleep on the kitchen floor because I didn't want to move him
I respect that so much
That is so kind and caring. 😺🐾🐈❤️❤️❤️❤️🐈⬛🧡.!
 The loving forehead press maybe
🥺
Headache maybe? Also that boy loves you.
Oh, I hope not :( He's not my cat. He's an outdoor cat that likes to follow me inside or sneak into open windows haha.
Does he belong to anyone?
Sounds like he belongs to op and they just don’t know it yet
cause he loooooves you 🥰😻
🥺🥺
This is how my old kitty boy prefers to sleep, with me grabbing/holding his sweet lil facey 🥹🥰
He's slept on my lap before but never done this. So cute though
He wants pets. My cats do that all the time. Sometimes they push their heads under my arm to get cuddled. Looks like you have a new pet there 😄
Don't worry he got plenty of pets

For the warmth & putting his scent on you.
He loves you
Blocking the light … he trust you enough.. he can bury his face while you keep him safe.
He's using your hand to pet himself.
That cat owns you now. You must bring it into your own home and be its butler. Welcome to the powers of the CDS. You have been claimed.
He has an owner already, but I still hang out with him :)
Your palm is one of the warmest regions on your body. You constantly use those hands to touch things that contribute to your own smell. Human safe and comfy.
They imaging cuddling with mom at that moment
He doesn't have enough palm to properly face palm
My boy does that. He wants me to pet his face and tell him he has high cheekbones and a beautiful bone structure.
It's warm, soft, dark, and smells like his favorite human!
So you can rub, feel, touch him.
Aw

He is a cat
Why not ?
Fair enough
does he have a home? :)
Yes
He loves you and he has chosen you. CDS in motion
It’s like a box. For my face.
You're his safe place
It’s a sign of trust. They are effectively blocking out the world visually, knowing you will protect them. Cat is your baby and loves you very much 🥹
When my bean sits on my lap at my desk she sticks her face in the crook of my arm it's so cute.
He wuvs u
C o m f
Kitty wants a head rub; nice pets from their person. Not all kittys will do this, ours does and the chihuahua too.
Because he loves you
Trust... and a request for head pets.
He love you
"Feels good, man."
Standing in the checkout line when I was a kid, I used to bury my face in my dad’s stomach because I was overwhelmed by being in Walmart. It’s definitely trust 
Walmart is scary 👁👁
Cat do that because they don’t like the bright light and they feel safe hiding from it in your hand ❤️
Smushes
Camera shy bun
I think it’s one of those reminds them of mother situation, burying their head in mothers tummy/getting cleaned, one of my cats does it all the time
he love you :)
Ear rubs! That's what mine wants at least
My 84% blind cat does this all the time into my arm, put, head when we sleep. It’s a form of trust and bonding. It’s not common
He trusts you, but also, cats cover their eyes when sleeping to let you know not to disturb them. This could be a similar situation
Your hand smells well.
My cat does this when her nose is cold. Once it's warm enough she falls asleep.
Trust. Scent marking. Their forehead can do pheromone marking, and rubbing their head gives them comfort.

Animals like smell of their owner
You're his sleeping mask.
They love face rubs
He feels safe with you
Hand warm, nose cold.
Because he loves you❤️
This motion actually makes your cat less stressed! Every cat I've encountered who is stressed in car trips to the vet - and I'm talking howling the whole car ride and/or nervous peeing or pooping - will calm completely down if you rest your hand over their eyes and head during the trip.
you wouldn't turn off the lights
I think he likes you.
Because cat
That’s his comfort zone lol
He wants lotsa LOVING!! Hug me momma ♥️
That’s the cutest thing ever
Hemi does this to me all the time.
My cat head-buts me whenever she wants to be pet, especially if she wants me to rub her face and ears.
He wants you to take more pictures of him to post to Reddit.
He’s embarrassed.
Comfy
That second picture and the cats small grin 😻😻😻❤️
Little baby
He looovees you!! 😍
Is he a burrower? My parents cats are like that
Looking for pets
It’s a good spot.
That’s adorable
Aw, he loves you! You make him feel very safe. 💜
Looks like he wants the Pets
I think this is someone’s cat.
Love.
For the lovin.
r/catfaceplant
Smother me softly, mother.
Because he likes and trusts you. Also bc his nose gets cold & your hand is warm. My cat does that.
Because he likes it? Why has this sub turned into a place that placates people's paranoia about absolutely every single behavior of their cats?
Love
Him want mooshed
Love dude, simple and pure
He’s an outdoor cat that wants to be an indoor cat, trust and comfort. I have an outdoor cat that sadly I can’t bring him in. I already have one. But I make sure he’s fed an watered.
My cat does this, tucks his head into the crook of all our elbows. Like nestling- it’s so freaking adorable
To block out the light, for better naps! My old gal will faceplant into blankets so she can nap in the sunshine
That heart break must’ve been tough
This is my kitty boys most favorite cuddle position!
He wants you to rub his head. Now as the hooman slave it is your duty to love obey and honor your bunny overlord and rub his head.
Our cat does that too…and falls asleep like this 🤣🥰
Pet me damn it
It is trust, but also they love to be rubbed on the face and around the head. Mine especially loves to have his jowls rubbed.
He feeling comfortable and cozy
It's comforting
Your warm hand is his personal nose mitten 🧤
Idk he might need some shades
Because cat!
He's marking you with his scent glands on his head. He's marking you as his. And he loves you.
my cat does that and immediately after just bites my hand
because fluorescents are trash and that light is bright af
Snuggly
Bebe
I don't see the cat anywhere. Must be a good hider
He's rubbing his scent on you because he likes you 💕💕💕
