My cat kneads me because she's trying to tenderize me for later.

Who else searched this when their cat was kneading them 🥺

My cat began to make biscuits on only my left breast… I didn’t think anything of it, until I found a small lump. I found out I had breast cancer. He only started doing it right before I was diagnosed. I think he knew there was something wrong when it first happened. He’s my sweet boy, and I believe he was trying to let me know something was wrong.

Cat kneading makes life good. Along with head bonks licks and slow blinking and cuddling.

“Cats knead to rest better.”
My cat rests all damn day, masterfully at that. I don’t think he needs to improve it any further.

Me: Why are you rubbing yourself and kneading on me?

Cat: I am marking you. You are now my property.

Me: You don't own me. Slavery was abolished almost 200 years ago.

Cat: I don't recognize your laws, human.

My cat owns a biscuit shop. He is kneading the dough and making biscuits

[FusRoDah]

My cat: Trying to make the space more comfortable.
Me on my massive bed with cloud like blankets: Is this a joke to you?

[laikathunderchild]

The look of pure concentration on my kit’s sweet little face makes me laugh every time. I’ve even recorded on slo-mo for a giggle. It’s cute 😻

Our cat is 9 years old and we've had him for almost 8 years. He never kneaded until about 9 months ago. Now he kneads blankets, the bed and my legs. Sometimes for 15 or 20 minutes. He's always been happy and comfortable so I don't know why he started out of nowhere after all these years.

My male cat “abandoned” by his mom w/cord still attached is 9 years old now and kneads and bites on blankets all the time. He has a blanket he drags around the house and will straddle it while kneading and biting like the cat in the video. He kneads and usually bites other fluffy blankets as well, he doesn’t knead on me too much. Both my cats 10 yr old female and him are fixed but she does not really knead on blankets. She will knead on me however. She was raised by her mama till she was over 2 months old. Both cats were fixed as kittens IDK if the boy has some abandonment issues as well and that’s another reason he kneads and bites so much.

I never had any cats in my life (I'm more of a dog person), but recently my neighbor's cat, every time she is out, always comes to greet me if I'm in my backyard. She meows a lot, rubs herself on my legs and purrs. She never leaves. I'm the one who always had to close the door. I've tried offering her food, but apparently she doesn't want any (she's well fed and her fur is shiny), she's more interested in me petting her ALL the time. Yesterday I allowed her to come into my home and she smelled everything before she plopped herself by my side on the sofa. When I started to work on the laptop, she blocked me, put herself on top of the keyboard and then went straight for my lap and started kneading my belly. I had no clue what that meant, so I picked her up and decided it was best to put her outside again, in case the owners missed her, and told her to go home. It was hard, because she kept wanting to come back in and I was afraid to hurt her while I was trying to close the door. I never had a cat interact like this with me before (again, I never had any cats), so now watching this video, I'm starting to feel like she adopted me!
