The Secret Meaning Behind Your Cat's 'Biscuit' Making

Why Do Cats Knead? A Calming Behavior with Deep Roots Australian veterinarian Dr. Katrina Warren recently shared a short video explaining the curious behavior of cats kneading blankets or other soft surfaces. The video, which has garnered over 1600 views in less than 10 hours, answers a common question from pet owners: Why do cats do this? "It's usually a sign they feel completely safe and content in your presence," Dr. Warren explains in the video. The behavior, often called "making biscuits," is rooted in a kitten's instinct to knead its mother to stimulate milk flow. This repetitive motion, she says, "is really comforting and calming." As a result, the kneading often persists into adulthood. Dr. Warren's video provides a simple yet insightful explanation of this common feline behavior, offering a heartwarming insight into the emotional connection between cats and their humans. The video's popularity demonstrates the widespread interest in understanding our feline companions better.
