Cat lovers know the please and pain associated with your cat’s kneading. As a kitten, she kneaded her mother to stimulate milk so when she kneads you, she is transferring that nurturing role to you. Your cat also kneads to mark you as her own using scent from in glands in her feet. Thus the kneading is all about showing you love. Even though this behavior can be quite painful, you should never punish or yell at your cat while she is kneading you. Trim her nails frequently to dull your cat’s weapons so the kneading will be less painful. Consider slipping a small pillow or lap blanket between your cat’s nails and your lap. Enjoy the time with your cat at close hand and listen to her ubiquitous purring. And don’t forget to take some time for cuddling. For more information, contact your veterinarian Los Gatos, CA.
