Have you ever asked yourself, why do cats knead? Well ask no more. Presenting easily digestible bullet points on why do cat’s knead and whether you could discreetly place some sour dough under them to get your kitchen chores done quicker








  • What is “Kneading”:

Pushing of paws against a soft surface usually performed with alternate paws, sometimes engaging the claws.  Looks like a person crushing grapes under their foot except replace the two feet with four paws and retractable claws.

  • Why do Cats knead? :

A young kitten may gently knead her mother’s teats in order to encourage the free flow of milk. It is a sign of contentment and security.

  • Why do Cats look mesmerized when they knead? :

A cat focuses intensively when she is kneading. She is essentially, in a state of deep relaxation and is secure and comfortable with her surroundings. She may be in a state that is somewhat close to day dreaming.

  • Why disturbing a Cat when she is kneading is a dirty trick? :

Well, because cats are chilling out at that time and are in a state of tranquility. Messing with or frightening “Puss ‘n Toots” (real name of my friend’s flatulent Cat), while she is kneading breaks her focus and makes her a sour puss (thousand apologies)

  • What to do when a Cat Kneads on Your Lap or Shoulder? :

OUCH!! When those claws dig in, you flinch and jump. Pick up your cat very gently so as not to startle her and place her on a soft surface to continue her activities

  • Conclusion of why do Cats knead :

Because they are happy, secure and content. Also, don’t place sourdough under their paws, unless you want yucky bread and doughy floors.







When I first started FunnyCats.in, I wanted to be a full-time freelancer and succeed in the new online economy. I wanted to quit my job, say goodbye to my nagging boss and never have to sit in a cubicle again. So after doing some research, I decided to start a site about something I know and love: Cats.

It is a cut-throat world online and success is difficult if you don’t have a mentor or someone to point you in the right direction. There are too many people selling snake oil to make a quick buck. But after countless hours of trial and error staring at the computer screen and many visits to my eye care specialist to get fitted for newer glasses, I have finally found a product that can truly help a newbie like me succeed in living the free life.

The lure of being your own boss and making quick money is hard to ignore. Let me be the first to tell you that there is no such thing as quick and easy money, but you can certainly be your own boss and live free. Thanks for visiting my site
