Why do cats knead their owner's?

When kittens are first born they are totally dependent on their mother for their nutrition.

~

When they suck at their mother's teats they tread with alternate front paws to stimulate the flow of milk.

~

If your cat is kneading on your lap or chest

when you have a cuddle this shows that it associates the intense and secure nature of  your relationship with that of its mother when it was a tiny kitten.

~

Some cats will take the process one step further and dribble uncontrollably as they anticipate

the milk feed that kneading usually predicted.

~

Cats grow out of this behaviour when it ceases

to be necessary but a few will retain it into

adulthood, particularly when in the presence of someone with whom they feel safe or

when they get on a  particularly 

fluffy cushion or blanket.
