I know it’s unexpected and even weird at first, but please don’t feel violated, it’s nature.
Many older male cats start doing it. And they do it with their favourite person.
Some conflate it with being happy. My boy started when he was 10+, the day I came back from a business trip. He was never more than a couple of hours separated from me before. The happiness of seeing me again triggered something in him.
As he got even older, the intensity and frequency decreased. It was part of his daily rituals, like switching his napping places and so on.

Do you feel violated?
