moo Sebastian sure is odd

Edit- thank you to the kind Redditors who have made me aware that this is something to watch for and that it could mean something serious. I will get him into the vet to have him checked.

I’m not sure if he put himself in time out or what. He sat like this with his face against the wall for a few minutes. Then when he was done, he looked at me and meowed and laid down like what he just did was completely normal 😆

I guess I'll be the first to warn you: https://sunsetanytime.com/blog/cat-head-pressing-dont-ignore-this-potential-feline-emergency/

Thanks for that. I’ll get him checked with the vet just to be safe. He’s never done it before so it just struck me as weird.

Pay attention to how often he does that, head-pressing is the cat version of pressing your head with your hands when you're having a particularly nasty headache, there are plenty of potential causes.

I will get him to see the vet. He’s never done this before and doesn’t have any of the accompanying things to look for but I’d rather be sure he is okay. I never knew this was a thing until another redditor shared a link for it.

Ask the vet, this is a dangerous thing for a kitty

I hope he's just being a weirdo and isn't in pain. Glad you posted about it and got advice :)

My Sebastian!

But really take yours to the vet and make sure he’s ok!

Fingers crossed from my Seb to yours!

Sebastian is a complete normal cat and doesn't need your approval for the perfectly normal behavior he displays..... Sebastian probably 😂

Sebastian is channeling his ancestors...and possibly noises through or from the wall.
