Stimulate your cat's hunting instinct by letting him play with these large cat feathers.
You may have seen it in your own cats: they kick. The cat then snuggles up to you on a blanket or cushion and starts kneading or trampling its paws. With outstretched paws, it puts its feet in the blanket or the cushion Or maybe even on your lap. It does look cute, but do you know why cats sometimes do this?
It looks like the cat is kicking, but this phenomenon is actually called kneading. It is definitely not an action they do to sharpen their nails with it. But why do they do this?
First, it is a comfortable feeling to do this. Kittens already do this too. You can see this happening, for example, when they lie down with their mother to drink milk. They enjoy this so intensely that they stretch out for a while. Adult cats still do this too. They then seek comfort or care. They already feel at ease, but they still ask for a little more attention.
Cats are naturally very territorial animals. You see this not only in domestic cats, but also certainly in the larger cat species such as lions, panthers and tigers. Domestic cats can also knead their paws to mark out their own territory. Stretching out in this way releases a scent from their paws. This scent is then given off on a blanket or cushion. They make an item smell like themselves and other cats know in this way that this is not their territory.
Even when there are no other cats around, a cat does always like to mark its territory 'just in case'. Therefore, you will find that your cat will also knead its paws, even when you don't have other cats in your house.
