Why has my cat been kneading my belly all of a sudden?

[Anonymous]

Making biscuits as one might say?

[Phoenix98]

O she’s giving you kitten britches lol.

cats do that for a variety of reasons it could be she wants you attention, or she’s content or just because she’s happy and comfortable. To name a few.

[Asker]

I’m telling you, this isn’t like her at all lol!

[Phoenix98]

Take her to the vet if your concerned but I don’t think you haven anything to worry about.

[NathanDavis]

because they like it, and they like you... it is soothing for them, bonding

[Asker]

She hasn’t really done it all that much until now. She has been sleeping in my lap and arms a lot lately and as soon as I wake up she starts going to the same places as me.

[NathanDavis]

what is her age? months, years? or how long you've had her?

[Asker]

She is a bit over a year old now.

[Asker]

And we’ve had her for a bit over a year too.

[NathanDavis]

cats have their own personalities just like us... my cat is a bit older than three years old, and she will also do some kneading and cuddling from time to time, it is rare that she does but she sure does it sometimes

meanwhile my five month kitten likes to do it way more often, being younger... they're more into bonding and getting closer to you as well

[Asker]

She has never been this affectionate towards me, I guess.

[NathanDavis]

is she spayed? maybe she's in heat... lol

and when they are, they do get quite affectionate

[Asker]

Yes, she is lol. She’s lying on me right now again lol.

[NathanDavis]

then enjoy... haha

[Asker]

Why is it that when they are spayed, they show more affection like that aha?

[NathanDavis]

as far as I know, they become more mellow and gentle with the owners

it could be that since they are spayed and no longer experienced being "in heat" they will be less stressed or a lot less eager to go out and mate with other cats...

their focus will be you... and their bonds with you

[Asker]

Aww. Even when she was spayed before, she still wasn’t as affectionate as she has been now.

[NathanDavis]

well, how many other people in your family? or other pets

they can develop closeness over time as well, as they age

[Noodle_fan]

cats "making biscuit" are usually sign that they are content

[Asker]

Content with what though? 😊

[Noodle_fan]

in your case i think it is because of your presence
it can be caused by anything , last time i saw cat did that when cat owner visit her and her kittens

[Asker]

It’s not like her to be doing that with me aha.

[Noodle_fan]

i would assume you probably spend more times with your cats lately , that is why the cat doing that
if i am wrong , may be the cat are just in good mood lately

[Asker]

Even in the past I tried to show her a lot of love, but yes, I do spend a lot of time with her.

You don't know it yet, but your pregnant and it's your cats way of soothing the baby inside your tummy.

[Asker]

I’m obviously not pregnant lol.

[Opinion Owner]

How do you know, lots of women don't know they are pregnant till they go into labor.

[Staximus]

Getting comfortable

[Asker]

She has been doing it a lot more lately compared to before.
