I think it just feels good. I suppose you could say that it stimulates something hormonal in the sense that pleasurable sensations stimulate the release of endorphins, but no more so than a neckrub does in us.

I don't know. Mine like being tickled under the chin and on the sides of their cheeks. Makes them purr.

Kitty has scent glands in well-placed parts of her body...including her face (around the ears and eyes and on the chin). She's marking you as hers! You can't smell it, but other kitties can.
