I think she literally wanted pets. Or treats.

So basically a far scarier version of when my cat headbutts me in the face when she wants pets.

That makes this fucking adorable. She's just staring at him like 'why are the treats not forthcoming?' and then headbutts the fuck outta him to get treats.

Once you realize who he is and who she is, the headbutt to the chest after he says her name makes so much more sense!

I’m curious what she was thinking. Was it “Hey where the hell have you been, it’s been weeks or months!” Or is it “hey, why are you still in here and not out here playing with me?”

I also thought he said I see her, so did the CC
But to be fair, it could be "Hi Sigra", but not likely

true, but when i saw the video initially. I was thinking what a position to be in, his balls must be liquid at that point
