Cats Making Biscuits Kneading. The two front paws will alternate pushing into you and (if you use your imagination) it will resemble the same movement of kneading pizza dough (hence the name)! Some cats lick or bite blankets while others knead fabrics or their humans.
Right, this kneading motion posture is very similar to the pose when we make muffins. Cats are mysterious, fascinating animals, and one of the more curious things they do is knead. Making biscuits, kneading dough, marching—whatever you call it, kneading is a weird cat quirk.
Some examples of these nicknames include paddling, making biscuits, kitty massages, or even marching.
That's why we see adult cats making biscuits when they find a soft blanket or fresh, clean laundry. Kneading is also called making biscuits because the action resembles someone kneading dough. This beloved activity, which involves the cat pushing her paws in and out against a soft surface, has garnered many euphemisms over the years, such as “making biscuits,” but most cat parents are unaware of what the process actually means or achieves. Though some of the cats will eventually grow out of it as they enter into adulthood, others may carry this habit throughout their life.
