It is said that it takes them back to the days when they were with their mother. Cats who knead are suppose to be the most relaxed and content and they may be regressing to place of early childhood. Jon Jon is my boy he thinks I am his mother at least that is the general consensus in our house. You see I found Jon abandoned from his mother he was too small to be away from his mother and he was most likely not going to make it in this world. I was staying at a hotel and had just gotten back from dinner when I heard this little mew mew and there he was small and probably Ferrel. He would not come to me for anything. Until, I got on the ground laying on my stomach (still dressed from dinner) and talked to him for an hour and within that hour he started coming closer until finally he just walked onto my hand literally and sat there looking at me. For me it was love at first sight. He has never left my side since. And this brings me back to kneading he has kneaded on me forever. In fact he will get bossy about it if I think I am too busy doing something when he has to knead. He is my little baby no matter how old he gets. Now my other boy Percy he also kneads but not as much as Jon Jon and he didn't always feel the need to knead. Percy didn't start kneading until a year or two ago and he doesn't make a big production like Jon Jon. Percy could just be laying next to me and start kneading my arm or my leg unlike Jon who has to climb up on me and knead on my lap. Thank God for nail clippers!!! Also known as the cat is kneading.
