Kitty's Massage Time!!

You will sometimes see cats knead on the ground, comforter, pillows or sofa in front of them. This kneading is a pushing action which many of them have done since they were babies fighting for mom's milk. It is the easy motion the place where a kitty alternates pressing lower on a single foot after which another, switching backwards and forwards.

The kneading motion with the forepaws is often done when the cat is in a pleased or in a happy mood. The behavior is also called milk-treading, paddling or making biscuits! It's their way of expressing love and affection. My cats get glassy-eyed and knead something soft when they get sleepy. My cats like to do it on my stomach too! My cat Chummy is the Queen of kneaders. Check out this video!

The main objective was to record the kneading. But, Amarise thought it's not cute.
