The kneading behavior (or "making muffins" as I have heard it called) is interesting...some of our old cats used to just knead us...on the lap, on the belly...if you were laying in bed on your stomach you would suddently find a cat kneading your butt at three in the morning.

I've always wanted to find out what the real motivation for the kneading and the wool chewing behaviors is...I've heard a lot of speculation and most of it sounds improbable. The possibility always remains that the only motivation that a cat has for any one of these behaviors is that he just enjoys being a pain in the ***...for a cat, that's enough.
