Cat Forum / General Topics / December 2006weird "bread making"
Not even sure if others call it bread making, or if my family is just weird. LOL Anyways... I have a 8 year old calico who has never really done this actitity. All of a sudden she is doing it and its like no other cat I have seen. She stands on my lap and does it not only with her two front paws, but all fours. He can do it for 20 minutes. She gets into a trance. Totally bizarre. I have a male who has always done this, but he will lay in my lap, relaxed and just use his front paws. Him too, he goes into a trance. Why do cats do this? Is it a relaxation thing, like meditation? > Not even sure if others call it bread making, or if my family is just weird. > LOL Anyways...

It may be that they were weaned too soon, but I am not a cat psychologist, so I really don't know..... One of my cats is 8 years old and she just started doing this. Never did before, just started one day. > One of my cats is 8 years old and she just started doing this. Never did > before, just started one day. That's unusual. All the cats we have ever had "kneaded" though some more then others. |
