One of the most common behaviours among cats is making a chatter-like sound, which is caused by the rubbing of the cat's teeth together. But when does this sound occur?
If you have a domestic cat, you may find it staring a lot at what is outside the window, and if it sees a bird, or any other prey, the cat's predatory instinct moves, and as long as she stays where she is and just looks at it, she knows she can't get it.
Even if it tries, it may reach the stage of frustration, and accordingly, the jaw muscles in the cat's mouth are preparing to devour the impossible prey, and they press their teeth, as a kind of heartbreak, that they will not practise the aspect of predation in their nature.
So, do not be surprised if you hear this sound. It means that you are raising a pet without a doubt.

She considers a certain place in the house to be her refuge, and she frequents it constantly. She may prevent everyone from this place, because she believes that it is her property alone and no one else.
So, when she's rubbing her head on you, make sure it's a sign that she wants to own and control you.
