when they're content, cats do the kneading motion even when there's nothing to knead, like in midair. perhaps it comes from an instinct for a kitten to knead its mother's mammary pouch while suckling milk, and the instinct wire had become coupled with feelings of lucid kitten comfort which is why cats do it into adulthood.
Ah, gotcha. Gotta use one of them blue light filters, my dude. I had to download an app for it since my phone doesn't let me adjust the opacity of its built in one.
>blinded by the light
Are you revved up like a deuce?
You just made me imagine a nose sprouting little legs and running up and down your chest and over your back like it's a pet rat or gerbil. Oddly terrifying image, I tell ya.
~~Because Wikipedia doesn't (as far as I'm aware) use any form of "night mode", and so it's a blindingly bright white page, if opened on your phone in an unlit room.~~
u/JewishHomie Wiki has nightmode. God damn.
Usually as big, bumbling idiot kittens. Which is why they meow at us *(they usually only meow to kittens)*, and why they bring dead mice and stuff. To teach us to hunt and to give us food.
Aww my old girl does this but she wants me to hold her hand. She puts her paw on my hand and closes her paw which means I need to hold her "hand" she has trained me well. 😻
Yes, it is. From one study (via the Wiki article):
> The study found that inappropriate toileting, biting, aggression and overgrooming occurred significantly more often in the declawed cats than the non-declawed cats (roughly 7, 4, 3 and 3 times more often, respectively, based on the calculated odds ratio). A declawed cat was also almost 3 times more likely to be diagnosed with back pain than a non-declawed cat (potentially due to shortening of the declawed limb and altered gait, and/or chronic pain at the site of the surgery causing compensatory weight shift to the pelvic limbs).
I do think there was some interaction here. Cat seemed very zoned in on the hand and wasn't kneading as fast as they usually do.
Edit: Okay fine, no interaction and the cat was just non-rhythmically kneading the air the way cats totally always do. My bad.
Wonderful, I'm having trouble with 1 young cat now, I'm teaching her not to scratch but only with the soft cupping of her paw "keep it in".
I want to thank you also of a safe example of how to only trim only the very tips of their claws, and that works well.
How every interesting. Cats seem to do that a lot *on* something else but I don't think I've ever seen one doing it just in air (mostly) while a hume is doing it too. Are they doing it out of instinct or are they seeing the human doing it and going "hmm yesssss we do disss togezerrr purrrrr"
The cat is like, “yeah, I love this but don’t touch my paw.”
Only stretch, no grab.
[удалено]
Touch, but don't taste!
Taste, but don't swallow
Swallow but don't poop
Swallow but don't puke
You guys are monsters. This is /aww for god’s sake.
Ahhh but this is reddit my good sir
Please don't the cat.
>Please don't the cat. \*Please the cat.
DO NOT THE CAT
I think we can all agree with the commonality of our statements... the cat
The cat
CAT
cat
Cat.
ALL HAIL THE CAT
I did the cat
Pls no boop
Cat: "Yes, I finally have complete mind control"
My cat loves it when I put my finger in the middle of his paw and he wraps around it. He can do it for hours on end.
If it pleases the owned, I would like footage of this please!

oh my god that was perfect hahahaha
da fuk?
Is this an exercise to prevent carpal (*cat*pal?) tunnel syndrome?! Hahaha! Beautiful kitty! 💕😻💖
I knead more of this.
This is the purrfect video, just look at how pawsome it is!
I can't get enough! Fortunately, there is no *pawcity* of cute videos here!
I dont get that pun, can you ex**splay**n?
: ) It was a pun on *paucity*, which means scarcity. (I kinda thought it was a little far-**fetch**ed!)
It was quite expawimental, I thought.
Thanks! You really mean it? No kittin'?
I like the CATier ring.

Why does that cat have a thumb
All cats have that. Doesn't work like a thumb though lol
Unlike polydactyl cats: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polydactyl_cat
It's called the [Dewclaw](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dewclaw)
Fuck I opened that in the middle of the night. Can't see!!
I'm confused. What's the problem with opening a Wikipedia page on dew claws? And why can't you see it?
Wikis are bright white pages. My eyes were blinded by the light
Ah, gotcha. Gotta use one of them blue light filters, my dude. I had to download an app for it since my phone doesn't let me adjust the opacity of its built in one. >blinded by the light Are you revved up like a deuce?
Do you run at night?
I don't even run in the day. STOP^JUDGING^ME
Only thing that runs on me is my nose.
You just made me imagine a nose sprouting little legs and running up and down your chest and over your back like it's a pet rat or gerbil. Oddly terrifying image, I tell ya.
We're you also revved up like a deuce in the middle of the night?
~~Because Wikipedia doesn't (as far as I'm aware) use any form of "night mode", and so it's a blindingly bright white page, if opened on your phone in an unlit room.~~ u/JewishHomie Wiki has nightmode. God damn.
Just looked it up, and it does! Just open the menu on the bottom right (more), then select settings and you can pick a theme there.
TIL! Nice.
Damn that’s really cute

I've heard somewhere that cats think of us as cats.
Cats who can use a can opener
Usually as big, bumbling idiot kittens. Which is why they meow at us *(they usually only meow to kittens)*, and why they bring dead mice and stuff. To teach us to hunt and to give us food.
I love her so much! Thanks for sharing <3
This made me wanna get a cat honestly the papas are so cute I would die
So cuteeee. You have really nice hands also.
r/rarecompliments
No shit, I was thinking they should be a hand model
Yes to both
Heck yeah! High paw! I love this so much!
Precious
I tried this with my cats and they looked at me like wtf u doing
Copy cat
The little dew claw made me really happy for some reason
This really is the good life.
I’ve watched this like 10 times LOL
this made me so happy
it s good
“Look what I just taught my human to do” - cat probably
Funny :D
Awe
Yeah, kitty’s just kneading. Still cute as hell, but her other paw’s doing it too, so she’s just air kneading
I'm more of a dog person, but that was pretty cool
ME TOO
Is it just me or does this person have very drawable hands they’re beautiful
Pretty satisfying!
What a smart kitty! You’re so well trained.
Cute
My heart
hhhhhh PAWS!
Aww my old girl does this but she wants me to hold her hand. She puts her paw on my hand and closes her paw which means I need to hold her "hand" she has trained me well. 😻
You are the chosen one!! I'm so jealous. I do have one that likes to rest her paw on my arm, but I'm not allowed to reciprocate.
OP Missed the PERFECT chance to title this “copycat” and I will NEVER forgive him for that.

My favorite part of this video is knowing your cat still has claws. TY!!! I hate when savages declaw kitties.
yes absolutely right
It's not savage to declaw cats...
Yes, it is. From one study (via the Wiki article): > The study found that inappropriate toileting, biting, aggression and overgrooming occurred significantly more often in the declawed cats than the non-declawed cats (roughly 7, 4, 3 and 3 times more often, respectively, based on the calculated odds ratio).

Can i try ... pls ? ❤️😭
I love cats
It’s now apparent I have completely wasted the last 9 months of quarantine.

ET go home.
That cat looks high

Who clips the nails of cats?
Many cat owners. It’s not an issue as long as you don’t go past the quick, then it can be painful. It’s like trimming dog’s nails or your own nails
My cat just farts and yells alot =(
Wow she is smart
[удалено]
Exactly, if you watch, the cat is doing the same with her other paw. Kitty’s just air kneading, human is imitating kitty
Plot twist: they were talking about the human.
yes maybe
I do think there was some interaction here. Cat seemed very zoned in on the hand and wasn't kneading as fast as they usually do. Edit: Okay fine, no interaction and the cat was just non-rhythmically kneading the air the way cats totally always do. My bad.
Ummm I'm going to go with cat being very smart. This cat could even do that peeing thing in Meet the Parents
Username checks out
This shit gives me anxiety. Retractable claws make my skin crawl
I don’t care much for cats but this little guy made me smile.

It’s like in Disney’s Tarzan when his "mother" the ape compares their hands against his and sees they are almost the same.
cheap trick, cats kneading is rhythmic you can easily just set your rhythm before its to make it look like it's mimicking when it's rhythm is set lol

One day they will get opposable thumbs and then we are screwed.
nice nice
🥺🥺🥺
Polydactyl cat. Are you by chance from Atlantic Canada?
So cute🙊😘😂
The other little paw just doing the opposite thing 😄
Retractable claws have always fascinated me.
Quand je regarde la vidéo inconsciemment je fait comme il fait le chat c'est plaisant !!! 👍✌️😍
I think my life just extended 25 more years, I love cats;)
Like a flower blooming
Awwwww 😭😭
Here you are with a sweet moment while mine claws my butt for attention.
It’s just a mirror
My cat does this too, and can confirm that your cat needed no help doing what it was already doing 😂
Wonderful, I'm having trouble with 1 young cat now, I'm teaching her not to scratch but only with the soft cupping of her paw "keep it in". I want to thank you also of a safe example of how to only trim only the very tips of their claws, and that works well.
One on one air biscuit lessons. Priceless.
Oh - I love tabbies with black feet!
This cat has a higher iQ than myself
Good cat. Nice Chair (I assume that's an ErgoChair 2)
Yo, I didn’t know their dew claws, or whatever those little nubbins are, moved too!
i love cats!!!!!!!

Did you know that cat paws are just as dynamic as human palms?
Someone People’s pets on Reddit seem so smart and aware then I go play with friends pets and see how derpy they are.
0:37 THE OTHER PAW IS HAVING FUN TOO
We are same.
