I always remember Snoopy doing this in the Peanuts cartoon. Jonah does this after I groom him ( its like I'll show you mom!). But it is always funny
and makes me laugh!

Mine do this as well, Moslty after a bath but there are drying them selfs off or scatching them selfs, The carpet feels good when rubbed against the skin it is reaching were they can not but also when rubbing them selfs on the carpet the carpet becomes warm, Witch helps with drying after a bath, FL DEB I Love you to the point, strait forward,

Lil' Miss Izzie does this also every morning once we get up, after her bath and if I put down a wet or damp towel after my shower.....they always seem to find a way to keep us entertained

He's cute! Mine will roll around especially after a bath. My 2 will do this outside on the grass. (??) Don't know what is up with that other than they probably are trying to rub on something stinky I have read. ewwww!

Ah! Chuchi's beautiful

Mine do the same thing, sometimes to make me laugh (I think), other times to have a tantrum because they want my attention. Last time they both did that on the carpet was when we got back from a trip

I thought, maybe they were so happy to be home

It's so cute!

As far as I know, it IS for scent reasons. They aren't spreading THEIR smell, but they want to take the scent from whatever they are rubbing on. Be it something really nasty outside that they like, but we hate OR the scent they are used to having on themselves from their environment.

They usually do it after a bath because when you give them a bath it puts a really obnoxious (to them) scent on them that is really different and noticeable. The idea is that it is a sort of survival instinct. f you smell like a fruity, yummy little thing instead of a normal blending smell, you stand out to everything around you (including predators or, as the case may be, prey).
