They have scent glands on their bodies and they rub up against you and things to identify their people/spaces. It's a nice thing.

If you mean bump like a head butt. Cats in the wild that live in social groups do this to each other as a sign of affection. If you mean it like they rub on things then yes they are rubbing their scent onto things and you.

Simply their way of greeting you! (And the scent gland comment is right.)
Remember.. Dogs have owners, but Cats have staff!

When you say they "bump" I assume you mean when they rub up against your leg or furniture? They do that to show they like you, it's affection, and that they are happy. Yes, it is cute.

Hey,
Cats do that sort of thing to catch your attention and then soak it up from you like a sponge.

they are marking you and the territory as its own. it has scent glands around its predominant whiskers. i find it far more sanitary than the dogs traditional method of marking territory...

They are marking the things to mark or reaffirmed their territotry. if they bump you, they claiming ownership of you, "You are mine now"
