Cats are interesting creatures, with many traits and behaviors that are easily recognized as being uniquely feline-the way they curl up tightly to take a nap, for example, or their characteristic grooming rituals after enjoying a meal. Another common feline behavior is kneading, a motion cats make by pushing in and out with their paws, alternating between right and left. Some cats knead with claws completely retracted, while others will extend their claws as they push in and retract as they pull back. Kneading is sometimes colloquially referred to as “making biscuits,” because the motion resembles a baker kneading dough. Explanations for the kneading behavior vary, but it is without doubt an instinctive trait. Kneading may also go back to the days when wild cats patted down tall grass or shredded leaves to make a soft, fluffy bed for sleeping or giving birth. There’s also a more practical aspect to kneading.
