Why Cats Knead
It’s true that most of our Atlanta pet sitting clients have dogs, but we also have a lot of kitties that we dearly love.
I have such happy memories of my own kitty, Gigi – I had to say “Good-bye” to her about two years ago, after being together for over 19 years. Her passing left quite a hole in my heart.
Gigi was a great “kneader.” She often jumped up on my lap and began kneading my tummy before settling in for a nap. I found this behavior both endearing and annoying; after all, her claws were sharp little pinpricks! Recently, I found this article by Rae Paoletta of Inverse magazine explaining Why Cats Knead. It turns out this activity is every bit as adorable as it looks.
