Why do cats knead their owners?
Interesting. Is there anything owners can do to discourage excessive kneading behavior?
While it's important to always show affection and provide comfort to your cat, you can discourage excessive kneading by trying to redirect their attention with a toy or by gently moving them off your lap when they begin to knead. It's also always a good idea to trim your cat's nails regularly to prevent unintentional scratching while they knead.
