Feline Bakers: Why Cats Knead Dough

Wondering why your feline friend transforms into a professional baker sometimes? This kneading, fondly called “making biscuits/bread,” is as endearing as perplexing. It harks back to their kittenhood days when they kneaded their mother’s belly to stimulate milk flow. It’s a sign of comfort, contentment, and stress relief in their adult life.

It’s their way of saying, “This spot is so cozy; I must mix it up!” But beware, their biscuits may come with bonus claw pricks, especially if your lap is the dough of the day. Embrace these moments because you’ve just been honored with a freshly baked loaf of love in the world of cats!
