Okay so im curious to why my cat only rubs on me when were at home? So when im on vacation i take my cat with me and when we return home he always rubs on me and the all the things we have at home. My cat is not a very affectionate cat that just goes up to you and rubs up on you unless we are at home he will. I want to know why he does that only at home and no where else?

Cats typically rub on things that they are trying to reclaim, especially when they are on inanimate objects. If you go away from the home, with Chandler, and then come back home, he is likely trying to reclaim his possessions in the home. : ) No worries, this is natural for cats to do. For future, here is a really good resource to get into the psyche of cats a bit more for your own understanding and pleasure. They really are very unique pets to have and bring fulfillment in many ways. Take care! jacksongalaxy.com
