- Have you ever noticed how a cat will knead you with their paws? It is a common behavior of kittens and adult cats alike. In this AnimalWised video on 'Why Does My Cat KNEAD Me? 😼 Origin and Meanings', we answer the question as to why a cat kneads in general and what possible reasons they would have to knead you. You may also see a cat knead other cats or animals, which can make understanding this behavior even more difficult. However, what we know about cats as they develop form kittenhood can help us to see why they may continue to knead when they are older.

Who else searched this when their cat was kneading them 🥺
It’s happening right meow
My cat was just doing this to my leg and my stomach
Me!!
He’s doing it right now 😂
Me!!! Hahahah
My cat: Trying to make the space more comfortable.
Me on my massive bed with cloud like blankets: Is this a joke to you?
i was offended when i heard that as well i have so many blankets and pillows and a huge bed and he still kneads for like an hour before sleeping like im not good enough ugh
lmao it's what i thought. Like dude, you kneading the bed will change absolutely nothing, it's all in your head buddy..
so im not good enough for you huh??
My cat does this on my pregnant belly.
@Hal 9000 what in the actual fuck? God I hate humans.
The cat is tenderising it
@Hal 9000 The fuck is wrong with you?
smith it's TRUE tho lol too many girls out here having kids and the man leaving them afterwards
@@Rohgamu too many men not wanting to take responsibility too, it's sad
when my cat kneads her bed, she purrs VERY loudly, where i can often hear her in the next room
My cat
- avoids the scratch post
- avoids the toys
- avoids the food
- scratches sofa
- plays with a bottle cap and can be happy for an hour
- chews on cellotape LIKE DOES MY CAT NEED HELP OR SOMETHING 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kneading is so cuuuuute!
My oldest cat named Al kneads on me most of the time whenever I am sleeping at night, he likes to go under my blankets, lays down next to me & starts kneading on my stomach & also on my arms too, but then he gets tired afterwards & sleeps next to me, which I can hear him breathing next to me when I was sleeping. When he was kneading on me, that is his way of saying that he loves me, he wishes me a good night or good morning whenever it's dark outside at night or early in the morning & its also his way of saying that I am his favorite kid since I got him as a kitten, but then, back in 2011, he went missing while I was on vacation, he was getting old, he's been losing his fur. But if he died, I am pretty sure that he is looking down on me from Heaven.
We all knead somebody to knead on! :D
Exactly right now, just now. 8PM of July 30th. hahaha
Makes sense why my other cat won't lay with me.
Middleschoolers be like: hAhaHa hE sAiD NipPLe!!!
🤭🤭🤭
Multiple guesses by a non-cat to explain “why” a cat does something.
My question is: does the cat even know?
Yes they do
My cat doing this every minute when he saw me lying...
I didn’t know what kneading is but I know they do that before.
My cat kneads me because she's trying to tenderize me for later.
Dudley Doleft's channel 😂
haha, just popped in to say the same thing...my first thought :).
When I was a kid my evil sister told me the cat was tenderizing my chest just incase he had to eat me if I died!
I think you nailed it!
@@blackflagqwerty
Hmm..... That really WAS an evil thing to say; especially to a child.
This is how my cat pays his rent. He gives me massages
Exactly!!!
😂
My cat thanks me with her claws while doing it
@@yoyogamer2040 thats why youre supposed to be on top of trimming their claws silly goose! I trim my nails at the same time I trim theirs. So that when mine gets long, I know theirs are too. 😅

My cat is a kneading factory, i need him and he kneads me. I love him to death
Drewster327 that pun was purrfect
It’s left me catatonic.
There's no greater love, is there drewster327?
..very punny
omg same
I'm typing this in heaven.
He already baked me.
LMAO R.I.P 💀💀
😂😂😂😭😭😭
Hahahaha!!! 😂
Rip
Ha,m...
My cat just knifes me with his claws.
Same.
Yup.
Its Love 😳
Same
Tango down
My cat kneads my back every nite for about 5mins she will stop look straight in my face i will say thank you she will just lay down on the end of my bed and go 2 sleep i find it so comforting 😻
I'd love that!
That's cute
yes my cat did this also
I miss him
Mine kneads my hair.
My cat kneads my legs, I told him he should give me a back massage, but for some reason he only massages my legs.
My cat began to make biscuits on only my left breast… I didn’t think anything of it, until I found a small lump. I found out I had breast cancer. He only started doing it right before I was diagnosed. I think he knew there was something wrong when it first happened. He’s my sweet boy, and I believe he was trying to let me know something was wrong.
Wow that's incredible
God bless the two of you🙏
@@than_in_urmarire6547 and may He bless you as well💕
Maybe he was excited because he hoped you were dying.
It would be easier to kill and eat you if you were sick or dead. 😆
@@monberg1000what's wrong with you
It hurts so much but I love my cat so I don’t mind-
Put on thick clothing.
You have to clip their claws, but be careful not to cut too deep. 🙂
@@preciousjacob6108 Yeah but I feel that if they go outside, they need sharp claws for self defense.
@@preciousjacob6108 I clip my kittens claws(just the sharp tips), but they re-sharpen their claws to needle points within a few hours on my welcome mat!
@@preciousjacob6108 Normally you dont have to do this. Unless there some medical or other reason for it.
Me: Why are you rubbing yourself and kneading on me?
Cat: I am marking you. You are now my property.
Me: You don't own me. Slavery was abolished almost 200 years ago.
Cat: I don't recognize your laws, human.
Slavery was not abolished. The 13th amendment says "slavery shall not exist except for anyone who has been convicted of a crime." Everyone in the prison system in the US is constitutionally a slave. Why do you think folks hate the police?
@@itarferJesus lighten up. It's a joke about Cats.
tmoney360 I know. That’s why I didn’t get into further detail. But you said slavery was abolished. That’s a pretty massive misconception to have?? Especially when you’re saying it outloud when this sight has a bunch of kids and other folks who might not know better.
@@itarfer only people who want all crime abolished hate the police
@@Zerathenezot Ya? Sure? I'd say most crime being abolished would be fine but lots of crime is good. Mostly though I'm just concerned with stopping the crimes against humanity.
they often seem to be in a sortta daze or semi conscious mode
I agree. My cat seems in a hypnotic state, just staring me as she kneads.
they do this when they are happy or feel safe or sleepy. My cat always looked like this lazy eyed while kneading me, he also purred a lot when doing this.
Cat kneading makes life good. Along with head bonks licks and slow blinking and cuddling.
Omg the slow blink 😻
The head bonk 🥰🥰 My baby Buford will SCHMAK her head on anything I bring home lmao. Crackhead
Also nose boops!
“Cats knead to rest better.”
My cat rests all damn day, masterfully at that. I don’t think he needs to improve it any further.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Same my cat sleeps until really late usually lol nothing can wake her up!
I think so
🤣🤣🤣agreed!
😂😂
My cat owns a biscuit shop. He is kneading the dough and making biscuits
Hahaha 😅
Nice one😅
I almost didn't hear what you said because i got so distracted by those cuties!
me too
cats knead, but dogs are more "kneady"...
ill let myself out now...
Yes, i'll show you the way out... :P
So dudu..
How come your comments gets so much likes?
SMH
Hahaha, good one!😂😂😂
underrated😆
Fuck no.
My male cat “abandoned” by his mom w/cord still attached is 9 years old now and kneads and bites on blankets all the time. He has a blanket he drags around the house and will straddle it while kneading and biting like the cat in the video. He kneads and usually bites other fluffy blankets as well, he doesn’t knead on me too much. Both my cats 10 yr old female and him are fixed but she does not really knead on blankets. She will knead on me however. She was raised by her mama till she was over 2 months old. Both cats were fixed as kittens IDK if the boy has some abandonment issues as well and that’s another reason he kneads and bites so much.
Raven Poe My cat bites too. I was told since he got separated from his liter mates he didn’t get that out of his system playing so he thinks I’m his liter mate! He is 10 and weighs 20lbs 🙀
Mine is 11+ and he does the same lol
I can tell you the cat biting the blanket in the video was actually masturbating.
We had a rather late fixed male cat which did the same with all our couch pillows. Male cats bite females' necks and knead their backs to prepare and relax them.
When our cat has kneaded the pillows for a few minutes you actually saw him rubbing his... You know... On the pillows to get off 😂
So Lo yeah I always thought that was the reason. Just something people may deal with when they have fostered cats I guess. I always wondered if his litter mates had similar issues but the lady that took care of them retired from the center. My friend had found the kittens at work and the director took them in and rehoused them mostly to her family. I got Runty who was found on the second day apart from where his siblings were found so even that IDK if they were truly abandoned or mama was trying to get things together and find food or something or if she left Runty to die, was trying to save him or what.
I feel so sad for him 😔
I feel the need...
NEED TO KNEAD!!

My cat does this she damn near cuts me and she purrs extremely loud when she does it, I don't mind it at all I enjoy it 😂🤗🙃❣️
That sounds HOT!! 🤒

My cat does not knead, but boy she loves licking and giving head bumps.
My cats do both

My cat thinks I’m her property 🫠
The look of pure concentration on my kit’s sweet little face makes me laugh every time. I’ve even recorded on slo-mo for a giggle. It’s sooooo cute 😻
I’m going to record my kitten in slow mo next time she does this! 🤣
Our cat is 9 years old and we've had him for almost 8 years. He never kneaded until about 9 months ago. Now he kneads blankets, the bed and my legs. Sometimes for 15 or 20 minutes. He's always been happy and comfortable so I don't know why he started out of nowhere after all these years.
Cool story ..keep it up
Maybe aging or Alzheimer's who knows
John Jr yes need status on the situation
My neighbors cat (outdoors only cat) is about 12 years old. We have a cat door that leads from the outside to the garage and then another door that goes inside the house. My 16 yr old kitty passed away about 9 months ago, she hated my neighbors cat.
The next door neighbors cat started coming in about 3 weeks ago and he never wants to leave my room! He kneads on me at night on my chest and wants to sleep on top of me all the time. He eats in my room and decided to use my old cats untouched litterbox (it was clean) in my room as well. He just made himself at home and when I let him out to the front, he just uses the cat door to get back into my room a few hours later.
@@AntonNb People lie on the internet about their looks age or relationship status. Not their cat kneading 😃
Get a grip.
My cat do this on me. She'll be 1yrs old on April 17th next year. (my bad English...sorry)
Don't worry, thanks for sharing!
Omg thats my birthday!😱
Cats are the sweetest creatures on the planet❤❤❤

and another one
I’m a dude and my cat usually kneads my stomach. It ends up clawing me up through my shirt.
My cat only kneads me when I'm in my blanket.... not only kneading, but he suckles my blanket. Like why???
Same it's odd lol
Yea he probably brings it over from kittenhood. Like sucking your thumb or more often doing something else with your hands like smoking.
Same xdd
Mommy memories I think.
R B my cat has my dressing gown for that. It’s soft and fluffy and she gently rubs her nose on it and kneads. I think it’s like thumb sucking. A memory of their mothers maybe.
"Human you are my slave. I have marked you as such."
When you've finished a 3 course meal and you cat knead the shit out of your stomach right after
True 😂😂
Yes. I feel blessed. My kitty loves my hair (which is very long) ever since she was little. She has to have it the way she wants and I don’t mind. Down my left shoulder and she kneads it and puts her face in it and purrs.
Now days people are calling kneading making biscuits. I adore her and she does me. As I’m posting she just jumped on the chair where I’m sitting and made biscuits on the blanket and purred and is now laying on my lap ☺️
That's so adorable 💜💜💜
😂
that would be so relaxing to have your cat play with your hair or try to organize it and she likes.
Everyday, I sit on my bed and put my cat on my stomach, check his eyes, ears and teeth and then he’ll start purring loudly and kneading my stomach for a good 10 minutes. It’s become a ritual now and the best part of my day.
We are a little envious, right now! That's a lovely ritual 💖💖
I never had any cats in my life (I'm more of a dog person), but recently my neighbor's cat, every time she is out, always comes to greet me if I'm in my backyard. She meows a lot, rubs herself on my legs and purrs. She never leaves. I'm the one who always had to close the door. I've tried offering her food, but apparently she doesn't want any (she's well fed and her fur is shiny), she's more interested in me petting her ALL the time. Yesterday I allowed her to come into my home and she smelled everything before she plopped herself by my side on the sofa. When I started to work on the laptop, she blocked me, put herself on top of the keyboard and then went straight for my lap and started kneading my belly. I had no clue what that meant, so I picked her up and decided it was best to put her outside again, in case the owners missed her, and told her to go home. It was hard, because she kept wanting to come back in and I was afraid to hurt her while I was trying to close the door. I never had a cat interact like this with me before (again, I never had any cats), so now watching this video, I'm starting to feel like she adopted me!
i wonder if humans petting animals is a human form of kneading?
My cat does this all the time now she used to not but when she sees me laying down on my bed she gets on my belly and kneads lol I love it .. it’s like a massage😂And she’s good at not taking out her claws too much because it’s like she knows it hurts me !
My cat used to knead on my stomach a lot a year ago when she was still a kitten. Maybe she thinks that I’m her mother? Lmao
Right lol
Okay it's cute but I which my cat will put her claws in before she starts kneading me, girl be clawing the heck out of me, and I have to just smile in pain, cause I don't wanna seem ungrateful lol 😂.
Why do my cats “need” me 😂 so cute 🐈
My little tuxedo would kneed with all 4 feet placed in an area of about 3 inches square. We called it her "Kabuki Dance".
My cat kneads a comfortable spot before she lays down for a nap
I always call it “Makin biscuits” 😂
My cat kneads me when I go to bed all down one side of me just like he’s tucking me in it’s the coolest thing
That's the coolest thing?💀💀💀 Get a life man
Clashlovesme
Nope the coolest thing is telling trolls to go fuck themselves.
@@jack0cat nice ratio
When a cat really really is trying to get on your good side, she decides to give you a massage but she will expect a return in favor after her nap.
I thought my cat was giving massage lmao 😂
Same here hahahahaha
Every night my cat doing it regularly without fail😂.
My cat suckles on her blanket when she is kneading. It seems to me like she goes back to kitten mode. She's 11.Can you explain why she does this. She purrs like a little engine 😊Thanks so much. It was a very enjoyable video 💖🏵👍
Drool. Don't forget the drool.
🐈
Very informative..thanks!
It's a self comforting behavior I believe. I think a lot of single orphaned kittens ars the one who usually do it. But other cats do it as well. It probably just makes her happy. So she continues doing it. As long as she isn't eating to the blanket she'll probably be just fine. Otherwise talk to a vet. It sounds adorable though 😊😺
Wait 2:45 I though my cat did that bc another thing
I would often forget that my cat is in the room, so whenever he jumps to my stomach to knead me at 2 a.m I just screamed lmao.
He would then just black out mid kneading and uses my stomach as a pillow.
Misread the title caption as "why cats are naked" 😂
Geez how dyslexic are u
You blind.
I have many soft areas so not sure why my babies want to torture me with kneading...lol
My cat kneads the air while laying on my lap and I'm petting him
This explains why my cat has been kneading my breasts lately 😊😂
My cat has a bad habit when he kneads.
When he kneads he gets turned on and will knead til he gets his happy ending. He is neutered and has been since we got him from the rescue at about 8 months old.
My other males who knead don't do that but they were fixed before they knew if they were Male or female as soon as they hit 4lbs they went and had a little snip and tuck.
I have a fully intact Male he doesn't do that. I need to get him fixed as we gave other issue but I just don't have the money. Where I live you would think his balls were solid gold for the price they charge. 70 bucks just to do the surgery no pain meds or after care.
Ever since I got my gel foam memory mattress topper, my cat LOVES kneading it. And when he does, he drools and salivates, getting my sheets and comforter wet. Goofball!
My cat does it whenever I oversleep his time to go hang out in the back yard. Starts with gently kneading my side, ends with 20 lbs of buff cat squarely on my chest, nose to nose... charming!
Sea Poup it’s love. 🥰
Me: playing call of duty
Cat: starts kneading my head gently
Me: hey, what the hmmmmm this feels pretty good.
Me: guys I’ll log back in 2 minutes
Nick Sealy what did you do to that cat????
Hazel Lee nothing just fed her after
My cat just did this for the first time last night, it is the happiest I’ve been in years.
my cat only kneads on materials she REALLY loves--like soft blankets. She has also kneaded on my legs when she was sick a few years ago and a few other times on my arm.
when she does it on her favorite blankets, she often falls asleep while shes doing it, its so cute
My sister's cat does this every time she comes to cuddle next to me but she's ruining my comforter so I tap her paws and say, "Ok sweetheart, that's enough. Just lay down now." And she actually listens. It's pretty cool. She's smart!
Many years ago I had a cat and a dog that grew up together and yeah the cat used to knead the dog and then curl up and go to sleep on him lol.
"when the mother rejects..." 😭
Just lovely! Next time my kitty does this I won't know if it's because she loves me, as I always thought; or is she just fluffing me up like a pillow? 😒😉😻
🐈
Why my cat is dancing?
Why is he massaging me?
Why is my cat scratching my body?
Why my cat squeezes me with his hands?
After all this search I'm finally here... found the right word..it's kneading?? 😭
My boy will jump on my lap while I'm on the computer and do this. Sometimes he'll get on the keyboard too
Step one: give your cat bread let cat knead this bread. Step two: sell this kneaded bread. Step three: easy money glitch
My cat Kneads on my bladder in the morning to try to wake me up so that I feed her. And the funny thing is I take colostrum everyday in the morning. So maybe she's needing on me to wake up so I give her colostrum as well which is what I do a small amount anyways
Sure my cat may be content when she kneads my thigh. However on my end it can get very painful. How can I politely tell her it feels like I'm being butchered by Freddy Krueger and get her to stop?

Our cat would knead both my baby sister and baby brother on their back when they were very young. From 4 months to 9 months is when we noticed it, but he never left claw marks, or put a lot of pressure. Why would he do this?
I used to have a cat many years ago, that used to "massage" my back. He would knead it right where I have chronic pain. It hurt so badly for him to do this, but I never scolded him or told him no. Cause I believe he thought he was helping me. I loved him dearly and still miss him. I have 2 cats now that I love very much as well.
All my cat did that to me. That's why i searching a keyword "why a cat kneading and kissing to human"
I love when my cat or any of the ones I take care of at the nearby shelter knead. They have this intense concentrated face when they do it 😂
my cat is kneading me because he imagines to marinate me. I am his dinner I know that because he bites me all the time
Every time my cat kneads a blanket, she makes this sound that sounds like she’s sniffling. It’s adorable in a weird way.
Yay my cat loves me...I was beginning to wonder
They're just overgrown kittens! And they're too cute!
My kitten kneads and bites after on his blanket and vice versa, what does that mean?
And I thought they just like giving massages 😂😂👍
There is another behaviour associated with kneading
(which it may not be polite to say here )
it happens in males and it is
noticeable when the cat is kneading
and biting down on the blanket.
Just check out its back end.😻
Lynda Dale yea, I noticed that too.. lol
Your cats a pillow biter lol
Yep, I had a couple of Tom cats who did that.
Why my cat only does it at night 🌙 never during the day 😢 I can't sleep 😕
Oh... I thought it was a free back massage! 🙂
WOW .... MY CAT OWENS ME : ) and so do the 2 chowdren
I have a cat that only does it when there is an intimate interaction on the TV. Its super awkward 😂
Liar
😲🤐😶
"Intimate interaction on the tv" ?
@@thisgame2 nope not kidding.
All this cat affection is telling me how bipolar cats instinctually are.
My cat kneads her blanket before going to sleep so cute! 🐈 🐾
Mine too!
When I first got my cat, I always freaked out over him kneading me (I was a dog person, and was very stupid at first), now I feel bad for kinda making him stop kneading. He only flexes like 1 paw now.
I personally call it a cat massage 🥰 which I so love!
she does this to my dressing gown before nap time x
Fun fact:Cats knead cuz they're Italian.
