Is Your Cat Plotting World Domination? Decoding Feline Weirdness
From Kittenhood to Adulthood
Why do cats knead their paws like tiny bakers preparing dough? This behavior relates to kittenhood when young kittens knead their mothers to stimulate milk flow. As adults, felines continue this comforting motion to express contentment and mark their territory, thanks to scent glands in their paws.
Kneading can also be a sign of stress relief, helping them relax and feel secure. When a feline kneads, it shows happiness and affection. This habit is generally not concerning for owners but can be rough on delicate surfaces. Providing a soft blanket or a designated kneading cushion can make this activity more enjoyable for the cat and the household.
