- Cats do a lot of adorable things. They come and cuddle next to you on the couch after you’ve come home from a hard day's work and the sound of their purrs is comforting when you’re winding down for the day.
The other adorable thing cats like to do is kneading things. They knead pillows, blankets, and even crunched up paper. They also like kneading parts of our bodies, usually our stomachs, which can be precarious if we’re having a gassy day.
But why do cats perform this soothing gesture? They could be master bakers or pizza makers with the amount of kneading they do. Here’s the real reason why cats knead.

Tell us about your cat and why they're the best.
Because they are so sweet and funny. My boys make me laugh and bring me comfort. Bennie Hill, Pierre and Marceau have their own personalities and their own tastes.
He's the best because he is the best
Because he's very loyal and loving. Homie was originally a neighbor's cat but they moved and left Homie behind, so Homie moved in with me. Even when I was hospitalized and had to live with my folks for two months, when I returned home he was still there. I love you little guy, but you have a bottomless pit in your tummy!
Maximo is the best. Young chill soul. Love him hella and not a big cat guy.
Grunge
Because his insane antics are Hilarious!!!
To soften up the human for consumption. Like a chef does with a good steak.
Lol
@@mego5078 sometimes I wake up to my cat sitting on my bedside table just staring at me. It worries me sometimes.
my cat kneads my neck with his claws then eats my hair
😂😂😂
You gotta tenderise that meat.
Ankle : (exists)
Cats : It's free real estate.
B O N K
Small dogs too
My cat does this to me all the time, while I appreciate the fact that it's a sign of affection it really really really hurts.
Put a blanket over yourself
Give their claws a trim, or put a thick or fluffy blanket over your lap as you work or are resting when they come over.
One of my cats kneads without his claws which I don’t mind, it’s like small pats. My other one always uses his claws which sucks because he’s the more affectionate of the two. However I have trained him to not knead on my bare skin so that has helped
Cats knead because when a pizza chef/bread maker dies they are reincarnated as cats. Lol
The look of pure concentration on my kitty’s face when she’s kneading is totally hilarious. I film her on slo-mo for an even bigger giggle. So cute 😻
Yeah my cat stains at me like he wants to attack me when he is kneading (he doesnt attack me btw)
Stares*
do it sped up its so much funnier
My cat kneads my stomach & her blanket on a daily basis. She purs while she is doing it ! 😎 🐱
Important baker
Mine does to lol
Girl same
Why would anyone discourage this behavior???
I was thinking the same thing. My cat does it in my blanket when I go to sleep and I love it so much. It calms me down and helps me sleep. I can’t conceive the idea of disliking it. Just gotta get a shield
Water beds 💀
@@nauridea don't get water beds then dawg
My cat always does it and will not stop unless I gently push it away, even then, it still tries to come back. I love my cat but I feel like I can’t pet them or play with them anymore because all they do is kneading. It’s ok if they want to do it for a few minutes or a couple of times a week but it happens every single day and every single time my cat sees me lying down..any tips? I don’t want my cat to stop kneading I just want to know how to make him do it less often
My cat has been with me for 12 years, and he had never knead in my presents. Not until I was pregnant with my 2nd daughter, and then he would knead the belly all the time, now he is back to never doing it anymore. Btw he really likes my 2nd daughter, my 1st not so much.
OMG..
Thats so sweet!
That is the most adorable thing I’ve ever read lol
How adorable! You're lucky, ours was just the opposite, she'd tear open any present she saw & start kneading the wrapping paper! Sadly, after several Christmas morning disasters, we had to put her down.
@@ubahfly5409 why did you have to put her down? Because she used to knead?
My cat literally was kneading as I found this in my recommendations 🤦♂️
No one knows what it's like.
To be needed. 😸
@Ricky May Get well soon thank you. But I was playing on a song from The Who. 😼👍
plus they purr while doing it,awesome
I always called it “Love pats.” I totally L💕VE when they “kneed”
My deceased cat used to knead. On a pillow, i kept that pillow.. On the chair where he used to be. we thought it was because the person who gave the cat to us gave it to us when he was only 1 month old. I miss him he was so cute..
I personally always thought that cats, when kneading, do it when they have a strong connection with something or someone. For example, my cat Lia only kneads on me or on my grey blanket and always purrs while doing it. So I just thought it meant they have a deep enough connection with their owners to do this with them.
My cats name also lia wow .. She keep kneading me 😂
I miss pet sitting. I loved it when my clients’ cats would knead and get cuddly. There was one cat I took care of who had unusually sharp claws, I’d have to fold my blanket in half to create multiple layers so I didn’t get poked lol. This was the same cat that after having had a night terror I woke up with his paw in my mouth and him super close to my face looking at me like “you good bro?” 😅.
They are actually singing and dancing. “Whoe baby, whoe baby gon’ dance in you, whoe baby, wooe baby gon’ sing tooooooo!
haha my cat kneads my stomach every morning and then right after she is done she lays down on the pillow beside me on the couch
My cat massages my neck every night or when I’m in bed and lay on my right side. Not in the summer tho because I won’t trim his claws. In the late fall and snow cones, he gives me his paws willing for trimming. That night he will purrrrr loudly while giving me a neck massage till he falls asleep with his paws on my neck. Siamese cats are wonderful as I work from home and can give them attention.
My cat always kneads. Thank you for explaining why my cat does this!
Now i want a cat for free massages -
"never punish an animal for doing anything that comes natural." Well, my dog completely killed my mailman. Natural protecting instinct....so I said good boy.
Isn't killing always complete?
I wish my car did it more, it’s like a free massage 💗💗
My cat does it while sucking on her blanket. ..but that really is because she got separated from her mother too young.
It's funny because she looked exactly like the kitten in the thumbnail.
As soon as I finished this video he popped his little head through the door like "You know what time is is"..
It's to give momma a well deserved massage after work lol
TITLE: The Real Reason Cats Knead! 00:00:20 “no one’s really sure why cats need” ME: *comments angrily* MEDIA COMPANY: thanks for raising our engagement profile.
One of my babies likes to knead in the air, so I would assume it’s probably a comfort thing, or even just a way to show contentment.
I'm not a cat person..however I love when a cat kneads on me and purs..soo soothing😁
When my cat uses claws I call them, spicy biscuits!
Literally human flesh being stabbed by cat claws lol
If you have been around enough cats, you know it is a nursing instinct.
I sure knead my cat
My cat does this on one type of blanket in my house
Newborn kittens.....awww☺️
the stray calico kitten that i've been feeding kneads on a hard ceramic floor whenever she sees me
My cat constantly does it. She also chews on my top while doing it.
I call it the love pump. My cat does it all the time and it hurts!! But for some reason I just let her do it 😂
Our cats are the kneadiest lil buggers
I thought he was making his bed.
my Siberian cat started kneading AS an adult after a traumatic move. She purrs and kneads me when I climb into bed. I give her lots of fleecy blankets so I'm less likely to feel it. I'm definitely on board with the theory that it's for comfort and to remind herself of being with her momma cat because she will do it more when she's stressed.
I love when ppl bring their cats to our clinic and they make biscuits on usss😩 I feel so loved
I always thought the kneading had something to do with preparing the surface on which the king or queen was going to lie, something left over from their past in the wilds. In 9th grade science class, our teacher said dogs usually turn completely around before lying down because in the wild they did it to flatten the tall grass for a bed. Same type of thing, _non?_
> redirect your cat to another spot
My cat: nononono, no that’s not how this works
I love it!!!!
My kitten was taken away from its mother at 3 weeks which is way too soon and it always kneads on me and cuddles up to me looking like as if I was a mother figure for her
my cat kneads my armpit and i love it. feels good
I applaud the use of “Too Cute” footage.
I need a kitty now so cute
My cat does this all the time when he’s on my bed, but he also takes a part of the blanket into his mouth and then starts kneading, which is why I think the first guess is why my cat does it :)
my old cat used to knead and suckle on my top when i was comfortable on the couch
Has anybody ever tried to ask them why they Do It instead of Just guessing?
I absolutely love cats!!! I'll go up to a cat before I would go up to a dog! As I always say I like dogs but I love cats!
My friend had just got 2 new cats when I went to her house and I go over and we’re chilling on the couch and the cat just comes and starts doing that. I say “what is she doinggg!!”
She calmly responded “she’s making biscuits”
“Uhhh okayyy 😭”
My cat makes biscuits and licks the blankets I sleep under; every morning.
It’s for the same reason why they rub against people as a sign of affection. Cats knead because it puts the scent of their paws on their things and people.
I always thought feeding as a kiitten while suckling from mommy and it feels good.As they trust person or a nice pillow
laying in bed in the morning, my ragdoll kitten likes to knead on my neck and head rub against my face thankfully I can pull the sheets up so I'm not feeling claws against my throat.
My cats doing it right now so I just Searched it up lol.
My cat must really love me when he kneads me he never uses his knives 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The only relationship in which you get hurt but it’s a demonstration of love! The only reasonable and acceptable toxic relationship…
my kitten used to do it to me especially when she's on my top😁😁
My cat marked me. I am taken. 😂😂😂😂😂
We call it 'pog-footing' because it looks like they are trying to pick up a pog.
My cats love to knead my belly 😸
So in a way, kneading is nostalgic for cats
My family calls it happy feeting
My cat does it to make a comfy spot to lay or sleep. If it is a thin blanket on a bed they do it to make it thicker to lay on. O’Malley loves to lay in messy places like my dirty washing or my piled up clean washing that he ruins, pushes it over and lays on it. I hang them up in my wardrobe pick out an outfit and to no suprise…it’s got cat fur on it. The little git. Hope this helps anyone and it is perfectly normal they are just programmed to be worshipped and comfortable animals for sleep
I think the first opinion was probably correct. I've even seen grown cats suck on the blanket in their beds while purring and kneading. I'm sure it's soothing. We always called it making pizza. Biscuits are just as good :)
My cat jumped on my lap at the moment I saw this on a recommended. Stopped kneading. 2.46. That’s pretty short for him. Anyway, who’s ever seen a cat kneading a patch of grass to get it comfortable before?
Every comment is the same pun. I knead to get out of here now.
mine does it when she naps with me
It's to get the milk out the mothers teat. It's also related to purring.
They are bakers too.
My cat kneads me, and that makes me worth something .
My throat vibrates in sync with his base voice. Feels like I'm the one talking WTH
I was just asking this lol
my cats making muffins right now. shits kinda soothing if he doesn't use his fuckin claws
My cat try’s to drink milk from my blanket
❤🐱❤
My cat does this to my arm.
I look like a drug addict.
Lol
I get claws…
All the fricking time…
Because they knaad you in their life. :)
I think it's for comfort
He said dont punish them if the make buscuits but imaginehow cruel u need to be to punish ur cat for kneading 🥺🥺
My cat sleeps on my face and kneads my hair
my cat massages my neck with claws and then eat my hair he does this EVERYNIGHT
Playing the piano
The thumbnail looks like my cat fade 🥺
My cat kneads the air so I am good
I call it making bread cause why not
ive only seen my cat knead once and ive had her for 5 years :( is something wrong with her ? shes a rescue
I heard it was called smergling
I think it might be a behavior where they are flating grass in the wild to make a comfortable place to lie down something similar to why dogs go in circles to flaten grass in the wild fo a place to sleep. There you have it. Add it to all the other ideas why cats knead.
Take your shoes and socks off. Put your bare feet on a soft blanket, rug, or some other soft fabric. Then start moving you toes around and make a "kneading" motion. It feels good. That's most likely why cats do it too.
3:19 HUH-WHAT THE FU
I knew it I jus didn’t know it had a Name I jus use to call it cushioning . . .
My Cat does kneading only to persons those who are very close to her. Especially for Me.
Sometimes they just wanna be kneady
Are my cats the only ones that put part of the blanket in their mouths while kneading?
