Sometimes referred to as making biscuits, kneading is a peculiar behavior in cats. The feline extends out their paws and draws their digits back and forth as if they were a baker kneading bread. They do it on many different surfaces, but usually those that are soft and give some resistance.

This curious behavior is not something which should alarm us and many of us find it quite endearing, as long as they don't use their claws too much. Although many of us enjoy the bonding experience it can provide, we don't necessarily know why cats knead our belly.
