Father Kit Cool Gun Garth Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 And you thought this post was going to be about BASEBALL! Why do cats bang their foreheads against humans? Ah yes, the head boop. Or “bunting”, as it’s properly known. You’ll notice that they don’t just headbutt you- it’s more of a rubbing action. They do this because they have scent glands all over their face and head. They have scent glands nigh-on everywhere, and they use them to mark things. But bunting doesn’t just deposit their scent, it also means that they pick up some of the scent of whatever (or whoever) they’re rubbing against. Cats who live in social groups use bunting as a way to swap scent. They’re marking the other cat, but also marking themselves with the other cat’s scent. This affirms a sort of group bond, and bunting is used as a social greeting between cats who know and trust each other. They’re just treating you the same way they would treat anyone else they trusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Naw. None of the above. "Bunting" is when a Fighter Pilot suddenly applies forward stick and returns to neutral. The result is airplane going to "0 G" for a new seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I thought it was a colored fabric (usually in red, white, and blue) that is hung instead of the flag when the flag is not used for many reasons, but in honor of the flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Little known fact about bunting... Interesting Facts About the Bunting Snow Bunting – Snow Buntings really live up to their name! Even though they migrate to their Arctic breeding grounds in the spring, males arrive early to pick the best nesting spots. The males brave subzero temperatures to impress potential mates in the following month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake River Clay SASS #34984 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Made me think of Phil Rizzuto. The Yankee Stadium ground crew would leave the grass along the base lines a little longer for Rizzuto's bunts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Hangtree Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I read the OP's title too fast, and thought is said "Punting". I thought maybe we were going to discuss Alabama football. Punt, Bama, Punt! War Eagle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
