Why Your Cat "Makes Biscuits"
Ever noticed your cat kneading like they’re making biscuits? This adorable habit has some fascinating reasons behind it.
- A Throwback to Kittenhood
Kneading starts as kittens nurse, helping stimulate milk flow. Even as adults, it brings them comfort and relaxation.
- A Sign of Love
When your cat kneads on you, it’s their way of saying they trust and adore you. It’s like a cozy hug.
- Prepping the Perfect Bed
Just like their wild ancestors, cats knead to flatten blankets or cushions—creating the ultimate nap zone.
- Marking Their Territory
Cats have scent glands in their paws. Kneading leaves their unique scent behind, marking their favorite spots (or favorite humans).
- Stretching Those Limbs
It’s also a gentle stretch for their muscles—perfect after a long nap or before playtime.
