Cats will butt their heads to create some sort of colony scent. Cats headbutting is a good sign. It signifies that your pet trusts you a lot, enough for her to get close and be personal.
Your cat has several scent glands scattered all over her body. She will use these to leave her mark on objects and her human companions. They use these scent glands for socializing and bonding too. So if you see your cat headbutting you, and then turn her head sideways or tucks it down, she is probably seeking attention.
Headbutts given by your pet cat are typically indicative of affection. But you might also notice that after your cat headbutts you, she will start doing the same to other items around you as well. This is mainly because your pet is rubbing her scent onto items and you so that her colony scent is created and only cats can sense this. However, cats will not just do this headbutt move to anyone. A cat will have to trust you to include you in her colony scent.
