Why do cats knead their owners?
Can I stop my cat from kneading me?
You can redirect your cat's kneading behavior by placing a soft blanket or pillow on your lap or next to you, or by providing them with a stuffed animal or plush toy to knead instead. You can also gently remove your cat from your lap or move away when they start kneading, and provide them with positive reinforcement when they exhibit other desirable behaviors. However, be aware that kneading is a natural behavior for cats and may make them feel more comfortable and secure around you.
