Because they love you and want to pet you back. Or they just want attention or food and that is the easiest way to get it!

I have absolutely no doubt that cats go to heaven. Your Jeffry will be waiting on the other side for you someday and you'll be reunited. I see that someone has posted the bit about the rainbow bridge - a beautiful tribute to the souls of our best friends, our animals. You did what you could for Jeffry and the kindest thing was to let him go rather than to make him continue to suffer. Know that you more than likely gave Jeffry some of the happiest and most loving days of his life and that that love will remain with you as long as you remember and honor his memory. sometimes it seems like it's not worth it to have loved an animal that has left us as Jeffry did but I believe that each time we open our hearts to someone or something in need we are given a chance to transcend our limited earthly existance and catch a glimpse of what heaven may be like. It's all about love and giving of that love - it makes the world a better place each time it happens. Watch for another kitten or cat to come into your life - Jeffry will either return to you in a new form or he will send some other kitty to help you thru your sorrow. You have plenty of love to give and share and altho it may not feel like it now, you will be able to find another like Jeffry and love again. Be assured that you did the right thing - even tho it has left you so sorrowful. You thought of your kitty first and how you would feel second - as it should be. Love and blessings to you - we need more people who can love and feel love like you in this old world!!

It is a sign of affection, similar to you petting the cat, from what I understand. I like it when my mom's cat massages my back and shoulders, just as a side note.

I have 3 cats, and our last one we found when he was very tiny, we had to bottle feed him to keep him alive. I notice that he does that to my face and neck and he also "kneads" into my skin and purrs when he's relaxing. I definitely think it's a sign of affection, but the "kneading" of our skin could be him relating us to his mother. When kittens feed they "knead" at their mothers stomach, I'm guessing it helps bring up the milk or whatever, but it's pretty much the same motions that the cats do to us.

It'd be more obvious if they could talk, 'cuz they'd finifh it off with "Pull my finger."
Actually, I think it's a sign of both affection and "You're holding me too close to your face and your breath stinks." There is no one meaning for any one sign of cat body language, it's allways a combonation of everything they're doing.

My cats do that also. It's a sign of love and affection. It's very sweet and endearing. One of my cats also kisses my cheek when I say to her,"Give us a kiss." Then I give her a treat. I love my furry boos!

they are mimicking how we ourselves pet them. I love it when my cats paw my face very gently

Sign of affection. Or at least I really hope it is because my kitty does that.
