My Pepsi loves to eat and I've noticed that every time i go to the cupboard where her food is kept she runs to it and rubs both sides of her mouth againts the door really hard. I know cats usually rub their faces on ur leg or hand or woteva but pepsi does it to tha door all the time and really hard im not worried but i just dnt know why she does it
ps. i still dnt know how to add a pic to my messege sum1 pls explain

Cats have scent glands on their cheeks and also on their paws and usually when they rub up against things with their cheeks, they're rubbing off their scent onto that object(whether it be us, a box, cabinet, etc) I have noticed that my girls tend to do it quite a bit harder on sharp corners, often digging them into the sides of their mouths, the goofballs that they are!
So basically, your kitty is marking the cabinet with the food in it hers!

thanks CroBiatach for ur reply i didnt know that do they have them in the base of their tail cos after she rubs her cheeks on my leg she rubs her tail on me shaking it fast almost like vibrating it cos i heard they have scent things in their tails

Two ways.

1. Do you have any photos on-line somewhere? If so, the address would be something like the following: http://mtnlover.smugmug.com/photos/2537324-S.jpg

or since you probably can't see the URL, I'll break it apart but it would normally all run together:

http: // mtnlover.smugmug.com /photos/2537324-S.jpg with mtnlover being me, smugmug.com the parking spot for the photos and 2537324 the identifier for the photo. This is what you can type in below on the Image URL.

2. You have a picture on your computer that you upload to the photo gallery. Once there, you use the drop down box below where it says select image from Photo Gallery.

Your photo has to be on the web somewhere.

Good luck.
