7. Kneading
Cats have a unique way of showing how happy they are, when they curl up on your lap, besides purring and falling asleep which are the more obvious signs. You may have noticed your cat kneading your lap with its paws as if kneading dough, and wondered what this was about. It harps back to when they are kittens, and they do this action around their mum’s teat to encourage the milk. It’s a real sign of contentment, pleasure, enjoyment, and trust.
