wat do u mean by cat is kneading....??? explain........

Hi there...only cats do this action called kneading (moving their paws up and down repeatedly). It goes back to when kittens would nurse for milk. Kneading the mother's teets with its tiny paws would stimulate the milk flow. This "milk-kneading" (as it is called) is done a slow pace of about 1 stroke every 2 seconds while the kitten would purr loudly. What appears to happen when we sit downs that we look relaxed to our cat, signaling to it to hop up and start the milk-kneading activity. Our cat reverts to kittenhood and happily starts kneading. Hope this helps you understand why cats knead. Source: 27 year friendship with a veterinarian Work with both domestic and exotic felines as an animal trainer/behaviourist
