Although most cats can’t actually bake biscuits, they sure look like they know what they’re doing! Kitties of all ages are often seen kneading dough that isn’t there, and it’s pretty hilarious to watch. Scientists aren’t quite sure of the reason behind this unusual behavior, but they think it has something to do with their childhood feeding habits. Kittens tend to “knead” their mothers in order to get the milk going, according to Scientfic American.
As for why cats continue to make biscuits well into adulthood, the publication states that housepets often behave much younger than wild animals. This pattern is called neoteny. Whatever the reason for this entertaining feline habit, pet owners find it pretty delightful. Here are some of the cutest kneading kitties internet!
