I have limited knowledge of Japanese but I tried to convey my thought by saying this to a Japanese friend.
君の猫のふかふか毛で顔をこすることが欲しい。
It seems incorrect. Could anyone point out what's wrong with the sentence or give me some suggestion?

^ GT translates it to "I want you to rub your face with the fluffy hair of your cat", which means 君の猫のふかふかの毛で顔をこすってほしい– chocolate ♦Commented Nov 18, 2016 at 17:21

Unlike English, the Japanese word 猫 has no sexual connotation. So 君の猫のふかふかの毛で顔をこすりたい just means what it literally means: "I want to rub my face to the fluffy hair of your pet cat."– chocolate ♦Commented Nov 19, 2016 at 14:48

Use the auxiliary ～たい for "I want to ~~". For example:
- 擦{こす}りたい -- I want to rub
- 食{た}べたい -- I want to eat
- 言{い}いたい -- I want to say
So I think your sentence could literally translate to:
君{きみ}の猫{ねこ}のふかふかの毛{け}で顔{かお}をこすりたい。
(I personally would say something like... 「XXさんの猫ちゃんのふかふか(orふわふわ)の毛に顔をモフモフしたい～^^」「～～毛に顔をうずめてモフモフした～い^^」)
