Why Does My Cat KNEAD Me? 😼 Origin and Meanings

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

Have you ever noticed how a cat will knead you with their paws? It is a common behavior of kittens and adult cats alike. In this AnimalWised video on 'Why Does My Cat KNEAD Me? 😼 Origin and Meanings', we answer the question as to why a cat kneads in general and what possible reasons they would have to knead you. You may also see a cat knead other cats or animals, which can make understanding this behavior even more difficult. However, what we know about cats as they develop form kittenhood can help us to see why they may continue to knead when they are older. For more information, check out our original article on the subject 👉 www.animalwised.com/why-does-...

    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.

    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 can tell you the cat biting the blanket in the video was actually masturbating. We had a rather late fixed male cat which did the same with all our couch pillows. Male cats bite females' necks and knead their backs to prepare and relax them. When our cat has kneaded the pillows for a few minutes you actually saw him rubbing his... You know... On the pillows to get off 😂

    So Lo yeah I always thought that was the reason. Just something people may deal with when they have fostered cats I guess. I always wondered if his litter mates had similar issues but the lady that took care of them retired from the center. My friend had found the kittens at work and the director took them in and rehoused them mostly to her family. I got Runty who was found on the second day apart from where his siblings were found so even that IDK if they were truly abandoned or mama was trying to get things together and find food or something or if she left Runty to die, was trying to save him or what.

    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!

    My neighbors cat (outdoors only cat) is about 12 years old. We have a cat door that leads from the outside to the garage and then another door that goes inside the house. My 16 yr old kitty passed away about 9 months ago, she hated my neighbors cat. The next door neighbors cat started coming in about 3 weeks ago and he never wants to leave my room! He kneads on me at night on my chest and wants to sleep on top of me all the time. He eats in my room and decided to use my old cats untouched litterbox (it was clean) in my room as well. He just made himself at home and when I let him out to the front, he just uses the cat door to get back into my room a few hours later.

    I would often forget that my cat is in the room, so whenever he jumps to my stomach to knead me at 2 a.m I just screamed lmao. He would then just black out mid kneading and uses my stomach as a pillow.

    Everyday, I sit on my bed and put my cat on my stomach, check his eyes, ears and teeth and then he’ll start purring loudly and kneading my stomach for a good 10 minutes. It’s become a ritual now and the best part of my day.

    I used to have a cat many years ago, that used to "massage" my back. He would knead it right where I have chronic pain. It hurt so badly for him to do this, but I never scolded him or told him no. Cause I believe he thought he was helping me. I loved him dearly and still miss him. I have 2 cats now that I love very much as well.

  • @curtwalters8328

    My cat kneads everytime I put a blanket on my lap. Many sites say it because they have anxiety or are bored. I inherited her after my Mom passed. I am retired, wasn't a cat person (had German Shepherds), but she has captured my heart. She gets plenty of attention. And so smart. I trained to "roll over" in only 3 days! First, sit. Then lay down. Then roll over. It took me longer to train my German Shepherds to do that! She is a senior now, just like me. She kneads and purrs, it is definitely a sign of affection. 😊 She was a rescue and probably weaned too early (according to many experts). I'm glad she thinks of me as her Mom, it comforts her I suppose.

    I saw a program explaining how researchers believe domestic cats and dogs are essentially forever "juvenile". Mentally they stay in a kitten/puppy state of mind and never really grow up. That's why they stay so friendly and playful and would also likely explain why adult cats still like to knead, kittens do it while they breast feed to massage milk out of mama.

    It's a self comforting behavior I believe. I think a lot of single orphaned kittens ars the one who usually do it. But other cats do it as well. It probably just makes her happy. So she continues doing it. As long as she isn't eating to the blanket she'll probably be just fine. Otherwise talk to a vet. It sounds adorable though 😊😺
