Princess is the only cat I have ever had who just doesn't hardly do it, she still does but rarely. The rest do it all the time, Tucker actually never stops I don't think and does it mid air when you are carrying him.

Most of mine do it. I would say in Cory's case it is definitely a comfort thing. He had to be seperated from his mum very early and has always kneaded and he also sucks your clothes at the same time. It is soooo cute.

Re: does your cat 'knead'? & why do they do it??


It's funny, I have had a few of my cats quite early on and some later on, I think Kiara was about 12 or 14 weeks when I got her and Tucker was 8, obviously the ones who were born here stayed with mum longer than most kittens and they are the ones who knead the least, but as far as the rest go, Tucker kneads the most and he came home at 8 weeks, Anakin and Vitaani were both very young when I got them and they do it a lot too but not as much as Tucker, Kiara does it only when she's really settled as does Colin and Princess usually keeps herself to herself anyway and probably does it in her own time but it's rare to see her doing it, then again its rare to see her being social the little diva she is.

I remember vividly when I was still at home and had my old girl Tabs when she was just a wee imp of a thing, (she came home very early too as it happens) and she would come upstairs into mine and my sister's room, we had bunkbeds and she particularly liked my sister's blanket. My sister was only a toddler at the time and she'd always shout, "Muuuuuuuum, Tabby's dancing on my bed againnnnnnn!"

Anakin has a particular favorite blanket too, he will ALWAYS do it if he has access to this blanket, it's a black faux fur throw from Tesco, he loved it since day one!

Aren't they funny.

Re: does your cat 'knead'? & why do they do it??


Our older cat Miw used to do it all the time till she was about 3 years old, she does it occasionally still. Mouse does it all the time, and suckles on the inside of her leg while she does it.....LOL......she's done it since she was a kitten, but more so in the past 6 months since she's been ill, so I definately think it's a comfort thing for her. It is cute though!

Strange but one of my cats do it and the other doesn't. Jamie will knead for a short while if it is on the furry throw but not on our laps. Gordon just flops without any ceremony!
