My cat will start to smell people and then she'll start purring and pushing her paws where she's smelling. It's like a massage sort of. What does that mean?

It's called kneading and is pretty common. It's not CERTAIN why some cats do it, but it seems to be affectionate and they think it is just a left over nursing behavior. (kittens would do it to mama's teats to make them easier to latch onto) Sort of like the cat saying you are their mama.smile

This pretty much sums it up. 4laugh
And purring is usually an expression of pleasure. (They can also purr while they're scared. But I doubt that's the problem here)
