Fun Fact Friday: Why Does Your Cat “Make Biscuits”? 🐾
Ever caught your cat rhythmically pressing their paws into a blanket, cushion… or even you?
This adorable little habit is called kneading, but most cat lovers know it as “making biscuits.”
It starts when they’re kittens, when kneading their mother helps stimulate milk flow. Many cats carry the behaviour into adulthood because it’s associated with feeling comfortable, safe and relaxed.
So when your cat starts preparing an imaginary batch of biscuits on your favourite blanket, take it as a compliment. You’ve created a pretty cosy spot. 🤍
