My cat loves to have his chin scratched too. It not only feels good for your them, but it’s a good way for you and your cat to bond. It’s like when someone gives you a back scratch. It’s enjoyable.

My cats also love to have their chins scratched. They even smile when I do! I assume it’s very comforting to them. In other words, I agree with Qieasha Gordon.
