Cats Making Air Biscuits
I call it eye gouging.
Cats making air biscuits. Kittens do it to stimulate milk production. Most cats will at least display the classic making biscuits action. Sometimes cats knead on a blanket a pillow or other soft object we already mentioned your lap.
Chances are shell segue into kneading or scratching whatever surface shes on. To mark their territories. Additionally whilst cats knead its not unusual for them to appear to be in a trance-like state and look almost glazed over.
Cats are born with the instinct to knead. Massaging is an instinctive behavior practiced by many cats throughout their lives but usually begins in kittens shortly after birth. Nobody knows much about why cats do anything.
According to a veterinarian the behavior some people call kneading the dough or making biscuits is a clue your cat feels comfortable around you. I love how every answer has a different term for it. Chicken is another cat favorite and with a dash of spinach you have a well rounded and scrumptious cat treat.
Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns. Okay thats with one cat in particular and only when I lay down. Again this is normal behavior and if they tear up their toy buy another one.
