3.1 "Hi, And Here's My Smell."
A cat's greeting is very familiar. First, it will rub the top of its head against you, followed by the sides of its body, and with a final flourish, the tail. One pass is often not enough, and the friendly cat will come back with the other side of its body to get a better impression. This initial contact from a cat often brings a response from cat-loving humans flattered by the attention, and they will reach down to stroke the cat--at which point the cat will rub its jaw into the stroking hand.

3.2 "Why Do You Have To Be So Tall?"
Cats would rather greet us nose to nose. It's the traditional cat greeting, after all. The fact that they can't is very frustrating to them, and they may occasionally get up on their hind legs to say hello when we come home. It's a vain attempt to get near our height and nuzzle. For this same reason, cats will often leap onto furniture to be closer to out height when we come through the door. They want to be able to say hello properly.
P/S : Making The Wrong Friends
While dog owners have more control over their
animals, keeping them safe in the backyard
and walking them on leashes, the wandering cat can
make some very bad friends--especially a
male who has not been neutered . The unspayed
female will attract strange cats into the house
when they are in heat or may try and escape to be "where the boys are," while unneutered
tomcats will roam and bring home big veterinary bills after fights.

3.3 "I Hope You Don't Mind If I.... ."
Cats will sniff each other's rear ends in greeting just like dogs do, except in the feline world it's a far more wary process. Cats will greet each other nose to nose first, and rear if they are friendly, one cat will allow the other to sniff its rear end. Then the process is repeated. They are not like dogs, who will charged up for a mutual sniff without any kind of preliminaries. It would be considered both a rude and aggressive move if a cat charged up for a sniff without any kind of engagement first. One of the reason for this wariness is that cats have a lot more "armaments" ready to show disapproval--such as sharp claws. In this case, The tricolored cat has been far too quick in getting to know the ginger cat, even though his tail is raised. The direct stare from him is confrontational.
P/S : Is Your Cat A Polydactyl?
Though it sounds like a creature from Jurassic Park, a polydactyl cat is one extra toes--sometimes six
sometimes as many as seven.

3.4 "Hi There... ."
Cats like to rub noses and make nose to nose contact when they greet someone. So the simple solution for cat lovers who want to reinforce the bond between cat and human is to meet their cat nose-on. It can also form part of a scent greeting, in which scents are rubbed off and exchanged between cat and human. In this instance, the boy has picked up the cat so it can say hello, but cats are even happier if you come down to their level. That way, they have more control of what they do next and don't have to resort to "I want to get down now" actions to be let go.
P/S : Say It With Meows
Cats will often adopt a softer version of their meow as a
"Hello" meow. This muted version helps distinguish it
from the louder " I want food" meow or the "let me out
of the house" meow. Cats are far more sophisticated than dogs in expressing themselves vocally, and in
some studies almost a hundred different vocal expression have been recorded in cats, compared to
under twenty in dogs.

3.5 "You Smell Familiar, And I Never Forget A Nose."
When they meet in a neutral zone, cats that know each other say hello by sniffing and rubbing. First comes the nose to nose sniffing, which is followed by a little bit of head rubbing, perhaps some flank rubbing, and maybe some anal sniffing to finish it off. This is usually done singly, with the more dominant cat being the first to sniff. It is also the more dominant of the two. Here two kittens, who know each other very well, meet outside.
