Like a certain region with different tribes did that, or it was related to a particular tribe, one that is likely closer to cats as their letter animal. I'd say a subsection of the Coeurl tribe maybe?
One of the best parts of the miqo'te lore is that you have all the different territories within the Seeker tribes as well as all the different family branches within the Keeper families, each of which can have its own traditions and behaviors. So, if you want forehead booping, you can totally do it.
If you don't want it, then you can totally also do that, and if your character would think it's weird IC (L'yhta: "Hey! Stop trying to headbutt me! What's /wrong/ with you?"), that could be a source of some interesting RP.In terms of connecting to the known lore, I think it would make sense for a group of miqo'te who were more feline. Since the different tribe names are related to the totemic animals of the tribe, it makes perfect sense that, as Kell points out, some Coeurl groups might do that -- not instinctively, but as a cultural tradition. Perhaps they don't even know why they do it, just that they do and they always have. After all, it's not like most Eorzeans are especially educated, and we're talking about a tradition that could go back to at least the Fifth Umbral Era. On the Keeper side of the house, one could easily have a family branch with that tradition for any number of reasons. Sadly, Keeper lore isn't quite as developed as Seeker lore, so there's less in the lore to hang the tradition on.
