Just curious: why do cats knead? My kitty climbs up on my chest every morning when I wake up for his daily rub and he sits and kneads me, purring away. I know it's an instinct thing, but what kind of instinct? I was thinking maybe it's because they knead their mothers when they eat?? http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/confused.gif

Yes that's exactly why.. they learn it as kittens because they knead their mama to get her milk flowing.

My cats do that too... My black cat likes is better. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif But I do have breasts and it hurts when their little paws hit certain spots. Sometimes they like kneading my tummy too...
I guess it's because its soft... maybe I should do some abdominal exercises... http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/wink.gif

I love it when cats do that. But here in the South, I call it "making biscuits"

My Daisy (1 year old super fuzzy black cat) kneads this giant stuff pig on my bed! She hops on its back and stands there for a good 10 mins just kneading! She is declawed but she has been doing this since kittenhood. She will knead anything that resembles a pillow.
