But I have to. Head pressing is a medical emergency. If you see an animal doing this please take them to a vet immediately.

And it's not alarmist. The exact image in question was taken from this article: http://www.ntd.tv/2016/11/19/pets-look-like-take-vet-immediately/

https://purrfectlove.net/2015/03/head-pressing-in-cats/ This page explains the differences between normal feline behavior and head pressing. You'll notice that it also uses the exact same image as the meme to illustrate head pressing.

<Head pressing is a condition characterized by the compulsive act of pressing the head against a wall or other object for no apparent reason. There are many conditions that can cause this to happen but the most widely recognized is hepatic encephalopathy. This is the result of the liver not functioning right, so toxins are left in the blood stream causing nerve damage. Other causes of head pressing includes :

•Hydrocephalus (water on the brain).
•Tumors in the brain.
•Strokes or vascular accidents in the brain.
•Head trauma.
•Inflammatory and infectious types of meningitis and encephalitis
•Any kind of trauma to the head or brain can potentially cause head pressing.>

The cat in the above photo is exhibiting head pressing. I'm going to side with veterinary science on this. It's dangerous, it's life-threatening, seek immediate medical assistance. I'm glad that none of your cats have ever experienced this.

A snapshot in time doesn't distinguish between the two, so it is alarmist to respond to a photo of what may well be a brief head butt by telling people that if they ever see an animal doing this it is a medical emergency.

As for the use of the exact same image, there is no way to know from a snapshot which behavior that particular cat was engaging in. It could be either.

Again, that's the point I was making. Contact between the top of an animal's head and an inanimate object (all that can be captured by a snapshot) is not, without more information, a medical emergency.
