2. Thinks you're mom and should clean it up. Honestly, I think that's what they're after.

8. More or less, that's what it is...
Desmond Morris (Author of "The Naked Ape") wrote an excellent book on cat behavior called "Catwatching." That's one of the things he mentioned, although he framed it as "presenting their anal region for inspection." He also states that cats never progress mentally past adolescence and that they see their human owners as their mothers, so that is more or less why they do it.
