Why does my cat knead blankets?
Kittens knead their mother while nursing, which helps the milk flow. Many cats keep the habit as adults.
Notice: It tends to show up when your cat is relaxed and settled. Scent glands in the paw pads may also leave your cat's scent on the spot.
The poster has a tick box for each habit so you can mark the ones you spot this week. Some Notice lines describe the research behind the habit.
In a 2020 study, cats narrowed their eyes back at owners who slow-blinked, and approached strangers who did it more readily.
Try this: From across the room, slow-blink at your cat: narrow your eyes, close them for a moment, then wait.
