Also known as “kneading”, this behavior comes instinctually to felines, first demonstrated while suckling on their mother’s teet. However, there’s also a more practical aspect to kneading. Cats have scent glands in the soft pads on the bottoms of their paws. When they knead, some of their unique scent is released onto the surface being kneaded, and that scent serves as a kind of territorial marker for any unfamiliar cats that might come along and try to stake a claim.
