Whenever my kitten tries to rub my hand with the side of his mouth, he instead digs his snout into my hand. (lemmy.ml)

Is this normal kitten behavior? He hasn't quite grasped the concept of scenting yet.

He'll figure it out, or he won't, and either way it'll be adorable <3

Usually when ours do the snout push it's to get you to pet them.

That too.

Congratulations! He loves you!

Totally normal. One of mine half tries to eat your hand, when she does that. It’s weirdly adorable. Drool and all.

My Garfunkel does this every time he wants/receives pets. It's his routine and he is over 13.

My girl rubs her nose on my hand and she's pushing 3. It's adorable.
