5 Reasons Cats Are Strange [View all]

The more time you spend with your cat, the more you'll probably start to notice - she's got some weird habits, doesn't she?

We decided to look at 5 of the most common odd cat behaviors and get to the root of why they do them.

# 1 - Kneading

From time to time you may catch your cat doing something a little strange: kneading. This occurs when your kitten rhythmically alternates her paws, pushing in and out, usually against something soft.

While no one is 100% sure why cats take on this behavior, there are a few theories. For starters, baby kittens will knead instinctively when they're young to help stimulate their mom's milk production. In this way, some people think cats continue kneading as they get older because the action reminds them of the rewards of nursing.
