Kneading and sucking

Hi, tuttibella! Great Dane has a cat that has been blankie sucking since she got him. His name is Bob. If you find a post from Great Dane and click on her name you can find a video she took of him doing this. I don’t think it is unusual behavior and certainly sounds like it is something a cat might do to comfort itself. 🙂

Each of the kittens/cats will start in with me,at least twice or more a day and perrrrrr and nead and in shadeys case lick my paw and have their way with me…I like it.

Rotley loves fleece blankets, but Ruggles is obsessed by them. There is a blue fleece blanket on the daybed, and he stretches out on it, flexes his huge paws, and starts “making biscuits” and thrumming loudly, eyes half closed and sometimes drooling.

Rotley looks at him worriedly, and walks off to his cat tree.

Awwwww, that’s cute!

I hope Bob never grows out of this habit!

It really is a sign of complete joy & security for them. I had a feral female once who was so wild that noone could pick her up. Slowly she started coming in and even though she wouldn’t let us touch her, she’d climb up behind my head in the recliner chair and make her little biscuits for the longest time. I was happy to see she was so trusting with me.

My kitty does the same thing! I have this feather boa I used as part of a Halloween costume in second grade, and my cat Sam LOVES it. She kneads it and sucks it and sucks it and kneads it. It’s so cute! My mom always calls it “wubbying”.

Every morning, I put a certain pillow on my lap while I am sitting up in bed trying to wake up. Gracie lays across the pillow, flops on her side and kneads my shoulder and puts her nose against my arm and purrs up a storm. In the middle of the night Thierry lays on me and kneads my ribcage and side. Emma kneads the couch cushions as she is getting petted.

Hey my cat Jag does the same thing on all the fleece blankets in my house. He doesn’t like to be touched when he’s sucking though. He doesn’t seem to like to be touched at all. I don’t think he likes me.

My Kizzi lost her mum at 5 weeks old, and when I brought her home she would knead,purr and suck my left sleeve at top of arm, just in the early morning and late at night, I suppose because she lost her mum while weaning off her she has turned to me. She also purrs very loudly and loves it. Besides that she will just sit on my lap, so its still happening, its the only chance I get to cuddle her. Although she will let me carry her around and have a short cuddle. I allow it for about 4 minutes or so, sometimes pulling her off other times shes had enough and jumps off my lap.Shes now 8 months old and its still happening! She is a very well behaved cat , never had a accident once, all in litter tray, takes herself to bed at 11pm in the kitchen, and stays there till breakfast when she jumps up for the suckle for 5 mins, then she is off and out about.

With my husband its pat-a-cake- she lies in his arms and puts her paws out straight and he taps her paws with a song LOL shes lovely.

Cheetah Boy never deserted his blankie, although he doesn’t use it during the day anymore. But he always wants it up on the bed between us when it’s bedtime. When he was little he would take it under the dining room table with him when he had been scolded or squirted. He did his best as a kitten to earn his nickname: Cheetah-bad-boy-of-the-world. When he had a particularly good (i.e.: bad) day, we upgraded him to Cheetah-bad-boy-of-the-Universe.
