She was a rescue kitty so we don't know about her parents but she looks like a mix between a Persian and an orange tabby. She started doing this during a light thunderstorm. (Just a few rumbles in the distance. If it were a louder storm she would have sought shelter under a sturdy piece of furniture). I wonder if she was trying to comfort herself? Silly kitty is too clever by half sometimes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-why-would-a-senior-kitty-start-to-knead#post-758560 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 21:59:20 +0000 Louise 758560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My kitties sometimes do it when they are 'making' their bed, usually while purring. I always feel its its a sign of a happy, contented, relaxed fur baby x</p> <p>Eta wish I could post piccies with my iPad as fur baby Marley is doing it now x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-why-would-a-senior-kitty-start-to-knead#post-758307 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 17:25:22 +0000 ironkurtin 758307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the above. Also, it smells like you, I imagine, and makes her happy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-why-would-a-senior-kitty-start-to-knead#post-758127 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 13:18:04 +0000 Anonymous 758127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awww, sounds like she is a very happy kitty! Maybe she's always wanted to knead but she was waiting for just the right texture? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-why-would-a-senior-kitty-start-to-knead#post-758007 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 06:01:07 +0000 Lyn D. 758007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your jacket must remind Kitty of her dear old Mom!<br /> Apparently this is what kittens do to stimulate the milk let-down when they are feeding.<br /> My cat does this alot and the wrapt expression on his little face is priceless! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-why-would-a-senior-kitty-start-to-knead#post-757950 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 03:27:32 +0000 kellygirl 757950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perhaps the texture awakened a memory. I've read that kneading is a comfort thing and cats do it when they are content. We've had Davey for just over a year and he just started making biscuits in the last few months. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-why-would-a-senior-kitty-start-to-knead#post-757908 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 02:15:48 +0000 Mo 757908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought all kitties made biscuits . . . out of the 8 I've had, every one of them did. Are you sure the cat never did it before, or did no one ever notice? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-why-would-a-senior-kitty-start-to-knead#post-757834 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 00:40:53 +0000 Laurinda 757834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is kind of fashion-related, it involves my fleece jacket. </p> <p>We adopted Miss Blanche DuBois from a family member in June. She is 13 or 14 years old, and I've known her for 12 of those years. She is getting along fine as our only pet.</p> <p>This afternoon she found a fleece jacket of mine and started kneading (making biscuits) and purring. I've known other cats that have done this from kitten-hood, but this is the first time I have seen this behavior in Miss D.</p> <p>She seemed perfectly content, I'm simply curious why she might have just started doing this. </p>
