Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / January 2008What the heck is my weird cat doing?
He will take part of a blanket or sweater in his teeth, bunch it up a bit under him, and then walk in place with his front paws all the while purring while holding it in his teeth. He's not humping it, or really making contact with it near his hind quarters that I can see. I can't for the life of me figure out what's going on and why he enjoys doing this. Any ideas?

Any ideas? ---- One of my cats does the same thing. He grabs the blanket in his teeth and keeps tugging at it and kneading it. I'll be interested to hear other people's responses.

Kneading is a sign of contentment usually but in this case it might be making up his "bed" or resting place.

Well, I don't think he's making his bed or resting place. He actually is messing it up when I fold a nice plush, fuzzy blanket for him into several layers for him to sleep on. He also loses interest and leaves the sweater or blanket instead of resting on it. He's not partials to any one item. Anything he can find loose he will do that too. I don't know if he's kneading. It's more shifting his weight back and forth from each front paw with part of the item in his mouth. Very strange. I wish I knew what he was trying to do. >> >He will take part of a blanket or sweater in his teeth, bunch it up a >> >bit under him, and then walk in place with his front paws all the >> >while purring while holding it in his teeth.

Very strange. > I wish I knew what he was trying to do. It is also possible it just feels good. I know how nice warm fuzzy bedding can be fresh from the dryer. I'm sure it is just giving him pleasure. Cats get satiated with pleasure fairly quickly though and then they just abruptly walk away. It's really not at all uncommon behavior.

All of my cats do that on rare occassion, but Espy does it consistently on two of his favorite "mushy" beds. On one, he does it for a good five minutes, slowly rotating so he does the whole bed. Then he curls up and goes to sleep.

Cats are weird. That's what cats do when they are comfortable, content..... all I know is I find it to be one of the cutest things my cat does. It makes my heart melt to see how adorable and warm and cozy she makes herself.....then she falls asleep pretty much right after she's done. > He will take part of a blanket or sweater in his teeth, bunch it up a > bit under him, and then walk in place with his front paws all the > while purring while holding it in his teeth.

I'd not call him a weird cat at all, I'd call him one of those very special and rare cats that do things like this. He knows he can have his blankie with him where *he* wants it to be and not where it happens to be at the time. Smart kitty. Paul |
