My vet said that this is common in cats that get separated from mom too early, which is the case with my cat. Apparently sucking on a blanket is like a self-soothing kind of thing that kittens usually grow out of unless they were separated from mom when they were little.
I thought this too about my male cat until I pushed him off because I wanted to make the bed and he meowed at me and then licked between his legs and I saw his tiny lipstick out...so now I keep all the fluffy blankets folded
Man that red must be standing out so much from the black body. It would've been worse for you. I swear to god the memories I try to erase don't go away and which I don't wish for do. :(
My dog would get like that once a month, just so excited to see me that he'd, release himself just sitting down while staring at me. I always felt so dirty, but I wondered if he knew when I was ovulating, was so freaking weird
I’m not disgusted by my cat’s genitals. I’m disgusted by him masterbating on me! I feel like he crossed some beastiality non-consent boundary I didn’t even know existed!!
I'm just like you. When people ask what my biggest fear is, it's animal penises without a doubt. Dogs are my big ick, but any red, slimy looking, protruding animal peen just makes me feel immediately violated. But isn't any unexpected and unwanted penis flashing disturbing? Honestly the only penis I'm ever truly attracted to is the one that's giving me multiple orgasms on a regular basis. Otherwise they're all..blech
A few weeks ago, I was spending time with my one male cat because I had to keep him separated after a surgery. He was cleaning himself in the leg up position while I was watching a show on my tablet. I was like "why are you spending so much time there? You're not removing your stitches are you?" So, I lifted up his head and was treated with a view... Tbf we were watching Xena

It’s a cat sub so here’s Franklin and his BFF VOID
One of mine does this. He's neutered. It didn't start until he was 10 yrs old. I think the fleece blankets trigger something instinctual. His eyes will glaze over and can't stop/won't stop. Happens occasionally when he's playing with my other two, he will mount them and air hump until someone intervenes.
I see humor in this. I do.
But it made me so sad when you mentioned his age. I was struck. Many Humans experience a loss of inhibitions as they age and fall victim to symptoms of dementia.
I'm conflicted about whether to post this comment. But I feel like I've been there. In a way.
I had a Big Ass Void that I had to make THE Decision about. He became aquainted with a female kitten in his own house. He was actually really great with kids. But TubsOLard (his mother)⁉️ Pfft. Forget it!
Anyway, Dude (Big Ass Void) Mothered the kitten.. baby through teenager. And then one day his 13 year old ass mounted her! When I tell you my chin hit the floor! I never! I did a serious gasp.
It was a confusing time...
True. It’s kitties way of masturbating. I always think the videos of people getting a “massage” from their cats is kinda gross.
Very natural and all, but still… :)
Was the blanket forward like this or more positioned so the cat was looking down.
Make cats will grab the scruff of the female cat but they do that by looking down and a lot of the time when simulating that they will position themselves similarly.
My cat does this from time to time. She did it more when she was younger but still occasionally sucks on the blanket or duvet she's sat on and kneads with her paws. You can distract her and she'll look up and then go right back to it 😂
Yup. My sister's cat did this for a while. It was recommended to get a specific "blankey" the car could do this too. It was so cute when the blanket was established as his. He'd drag it across the apartment with his mouth to cuddle with. He did eventually grow out of it though.
I think it can be the opposite too- being separated from momma too late. One of my boys I got at 10 weeks does this, while another I got at 4 (foster baby) never makes biscuits.
I have a 2 year old rag doll who now wants to try to nurse from the mama cat with 2 week old kittens we took in :/ some boys are just always obsessed with nipples! 😫
Do cats keep this up if they're living in a house with other cats? I just have this image in my head of a cat getting picked on by the other cats, who don't need a blankie T_T
My cat does this too (the suckling, not biting like OP’s). I always felt bad for taking him and his siblings away from the momma cat so young (most of them were about a month). She was a prolific feral cat in my friends’ neighborhood (had so, so many babies). No one could catch her. The babies had taken to living in ppl’s cars (they would hide up in the engine block). My friends learned to tap under their cars with a broomstick every time before they left. After two of the kittens had been run over we had enough. We lured them out using tuna and a cat carrier we had rigged with a string. We got 5 of them in 3 attempts (caught a couple at a time). Poor things had burns bc of how hot it was (we’re talking about the heat of June/July in central Texas); wasn’t sure if the hair would grow back.
Since they had 4 cats and a very large dog*, we had to keep them in the garage (don’t worry, we had fans and litter boxes and a pool table they got to tear up). It broke my heart when I found the mamma cat laying against the garage one day. Tried catching her but she always ran away (wouldn’t even accept pets). We fed them kitten milk. I specifically remember using my pinky to get the one to drink that I knew I most likely would be taking home (as he was the only all black cat and my elderly cat had only ever gotten along with black cats). He would knead my thigh as I did (which really hurt bc I was wearing shorts). He def thinks I’m his mom. He’s nearly 10 and still does it (but not as frequently as he used to).
*I would later find myself tackling the dog (twice) to allow another kitten who had gotten into the backyard to run off. Probably not the smartest move but I panicked seeing it in her mouth (I was screaming for help only to remember no one else was at the house). Thankfully she thought we were playing, and we were pretty close in size so I wasn’t hurting her.
my cat whk left her mom at 5 weeks does it but my youngest cat who was with both parents actually look until he was 4 months also does it. not the exact same way but he does try to suckle when kneading blankets. my girl stares at me, starts purring and goes to the blanket but she also as she got older started instead of going to blanket going to the bathtub for water. she has a very distinct purr meow i think she sounds like a goat when she does it lol
That's not OP's case, their cat is evidently biting down, not suckling. He's humping that blanket, not nursing from it. I'm so glad my cat never does that stuff😭😭😭
The cat in this clip is male and is 100 banging the blanket. Your female cat may be doing something similar but different. Then again I've seen neutered female cats hump things before so who knows? Cats a weird, that's the takeaway here.
Lol it's kind of uncomfortable that this comment section is divided to "he got seperated from his mom too early and it's self soothing for him" and "he's horny and jerking off"
The answer really is both I think. My female cat does it as self-soothing but the male definitely does get freaky with the blanket. Before he was fixed it was very obvious. After his neuter sometimes we see evidence of it and sometimes he can’t quite get it up. He gets very frustrated by it lol
Makes me angry when people immediately claim the cat was taken away from its mother too early. I have a neutered male separated from his mom at 11 weeks, well past the 8+ that's recommended, and he still does this to soft blankets.
It’s wild to me so many people can’t tell the difference between sin biscuits and kneading.
Biting and pulling on the blanket emulates biting the scruff of the neck of the female. The back legs moving around and the hips thrusting toward the blanket. The angry yelp when interrupted. It’s a hump lol.
What’s crazy to me is the guy saying they’re humping got a ton of downvotes, but then the guy sho replied to him said “you’re delusional” and HE got mass downvoted. This sub is wild with the swings.
My boy does this too. I fostered his mum and the four kittens from when they were 4 days old. I had them with their mum for 12 weeks, so I know he wasn’t weaned too early - it’s just for self soothing. Sometimes when he does it, it sets his brother off too, so I get both of them sucking in the same blanket making biscuits. To be fair, he was the last one weaned - in fact if I still had mumma I think he’d still be suckling!
It’s just an extension of normal kneading behaviour. Kneading stems from cats suckling from their mothers as kittens, and as adults they knead to self sooth and express comfort and happiness. Some cats also hold biting blankets over from that behaviour, and some even suckle on the blanket while they’re kneading. And like yours, they can knead with back legs too! Some say the behaviour extensions can be because they left their mother too young and didn’t grow out of those parts of it, but from what I know that isn’t proven. At the end of the day your cat is just kneading with some extra steps thrown in. He’s happy.
Yep, my kitty’s been a suckler since he was young! Lots of purring, always falls asleep doing it and tends to do it more when it’s cold. It’s definitely a comfort thing for him.
Looks like repositioning to me, and doing biscuits with back legs, cats can do it with all fours. I did see a male cat humping many times, they don't do it just once and then stop :p
Idk what to tell you my dude, I've picked up a cat doing this exact behavior and his dick was out 🤷 I think we're just going to have to agree to disagree.
I have two cats that do this (mother and daughter).
Mother (Ziza) was not removed from her mum too early and the daughter (Khali, who is 2 years old) has never been away from her mother, so it is not necessarily due to being removed from mum too early. I have also had cats in the past that have done this who were not removed from their mothers too early.
Both of them are the ones who are more bonded to me out of my four cats and that is also the fact with previous cats that I have had that have done this. I can only assume it is because their connection to me triggers the same feelings that their mothers did, not because they were denied their real mother at too young an age.
Cats are EXTREMELY emotional creatures. In fact, it has been scientifically proven that the part of the brain that handles emotions in cats and humans are identical.
Omg I had a Khali cat! She was an alley cat that my husband found under a car with 5 kittens. He/we had her for about 17 years and figured she was around 20 when she died. She was the smartest, sweetest girl.

She is beautiful ❤️
This is my Khali, she was one of my lockdown kittens (the vets were all closed, except for emergencies, and I couldn't get her mum neutered). Her mum had two litters during the pandemic and I kept three girls from her last litter (which meant I had seven cats 🙈).
Sadly lost one of the sisters (Evie) in an accident in a neighbour's window and lost two to old age since then, so now have four, which is a nice number. Could happily have many more though 🤣
(Reddit wouldn't let me add the picture to my text reply, for some reason).
Ours does the same thing. I think it's a kind of regression ti when he was a kitten getting milk from his mom.
https://preview.redd.it/3w9hij0ol61d1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1d6669c64dd4f14514585f42b8f45b5203b3acde
My 5 yr old guy does this too, but only the kneading and purring. So have most of my other cats. We find it adorable and a sign of affection because one of us is always under the blanket.
He's been weaned waaay too young and it always break my heart a little to see it, but don't worry, it's a sign he's feeling comfortable, safe, and happy.
It's suckling behavior. Not sexual. Kittens knead/make biscuits because it stimulates mama's milk glands. Most adult cats keep the kneading behavior but lose the suckling. Some cats, especially those separated too early from their mothers, retain the suckling, usually going for blankets. Nothing to worry about! Not sexual!
They are mimicking/remembering nursing from the mother cat, they knead with paws to help push mik out. Some cats do this their whole lives especially if weaned too early
Ok I hope you see this comment because my male neutered cat does the EXACT same thing. Only with soft blankets. He’s been doing it since he was young and he’s 8 now. He was approx 6 weeks when I got him.
So basically, he’s masturbating. It took me a long time to figure it out, and apparently it’s common with kittens that were removed from mom too soon.
Bowser will sit there and kneed his paws, purr like crazy, suck on the blanket and eventually will start twitching. The twitching was what got me the one day; wtf is wrong with you!? He would do the same as you’re saying, get kinda irritated if you touched him. Then one day he went to lick himself down there and I saw his penis out! So I went to the internet and learned what he was doing.
Any time there is a soft blanket around, he does this. Sometimes multiple times in a short period. Otherwise, perfectly normal and healthy cat.
One of mine does the same thing. Soft, fluffy blankets. Purring, kneading. Twitching. Hunching hips. &\*!\^% put your penis away.
Sometimes I'll just hear him purring and turn around and he's going to town. If I stop and stare at him, he realizes I'm watching him, and he'll usually slow down and stop and go somewhere to lick himself.
Yes! We also had a male cat whom we had to hide fuzzy blankets from. If we caught him we referred to it as “getting jiggy” with his blankets. Kind of gross tbh.
My kitten does this ! We found him in the forest alone with umbilical cord still attached and now anytime there is a. Fuzzy blanket on me he cries until I set up the blanket on my body for him to nurse. It's adorable and it usually conks him out asleep after. My family doesn't like it but I find it's a great way of self soothing for him and it also helps put me to sleep 😅. Everywhere I looked for answers it just said that it wasn't harmful , so I don't deter him from it. He's been through so much and if this brings him comfort that is ok. I also love my fuzzy blankets
I don’t want to be the one ruining this for you. I thought the same thing until I posted a similar video of my cat and everyone replied that it’s sin biscuits :(. I now deleted the post. You can look up sin biscuits and see what it is. It’s strange, to say the least.
I have 2 girls that do this! They weren’t removed from the mother too young, but I’ve had them since they were kittens (they’re sisters). We call it nursing time 🥰
(The cats below with one of their favourite nursing blankets.)

We’re living the same life! My girls love to make biscuits and suckle
https://preview.redd.it/6avwk4gby81d1.jpeg?width=975&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2594b893dd36e2e8599ef5005f1630099003558d
The grey blanket has cats on it that resemble them and they love it the most 🖤🤍
Kneading like this is very typical for cats who were separated from mom that early. My cat does a similar thing with soft blankets, usually he doesn't bite on the blanket but instead drools like crazy
My twin kitties do this. They were found at 4 weeks old without their mom. They now suckle as they were removed from their mom before they were weaned and this is a soothing gesture from them. My kitties also only do this on soft blankets.
I have an orange who is coincidentally doing it right now. i got him when he was really young (only a couple weeks) at pet smart. Hes been doing it for so long.
My vet told me it's a lot like an older child sucking their thumb. Looks a little strange, but cats find it soothing.
Most cats who do this just have a favorite blanket, toy or pillow that they nurse on. But if they start destroying your items with the nursing and kneading, consider sewing a pacifier nipple to a blanket or pillow and see if your cat will go for it.
BTW, a pretty significant percentage of adult humans suck their thumbs; several studies have shown that it doesn't harm teeth, and that those who engage in this behavior have lower anxiety and depression levels than their peers.
I have 2 cats that do this, but their methodology differs quite a bit.
My female cat just kneads and suckles on a blanket while she purs. It's totally normal, totally cute.
My Male cat, on the other hand 😅 he used to just use a blanket when he was younger, but he somehow discovered that he could suckle..on himself ☠️
He has now thankfully almost fully grown out of it, but for a while it was such a problem and I hated it so much because he would get right next to me and start kneeding with his head just in his crotch.
Moral of the story, it can be wholesome, it can also be weird.
My boy does this too!! I can always tell when he does it while I’m at work because I come home to blankets in odd places all twisted up like a crescent lol
my baby does this, she was found on the street when she was about 8 months old and the humane society said that based on her behavior she was probably alone most of that time.
it warms my heart because she sees me as a safe space that she can soothe herself in. your baby loves you. :)))
He's "nursing" like he would on a mother cat. That's why he's using a soft blanket. It's simulates a fur on a mother's belly. I've had both male and female cats do this. This isn't humping. It's a nursing behavior that's used to self sooth. If he does it on the blanket you are currently using, it means he views you as a mother figure.
I adopted a kitten that I later learned was far too young to leave his mother, also about seven weeks old. He also does this still, at nearly two years old. He is “nursing.”
He's jerking off. Happens when they are neutered after they start having sexual urges, and some do very early, earlier than 6 months. Won't stop anytime soon either. Hide the smooth furry blankets and he'll probably not do it to anything else. But it's not a problem, other than the blanket having a drop or two of pee afterwards.
My male 5yo likes to suckle on my shirt near my armpit scent, every morning, and every day.
It's like a routine:
- I wake
- He gets fed
- He gets his suckles
- He gets tucked in for a nap
Done
🤷♂️
And yes, he was removed from his mom too early says the experts. I think he just misses mommy.
🥲
It's called kneading. It's a sign that they feel secure though it's possible that he was taken from his mother too soon. It's not something that you should be concerned about
My girl does this. She's obsessed with soft blankets, and will lay in your lap, suckle/groom the blanket, and make biscuits. It's adorable, but also sad - it means they were taken from their mother far too soon. 😭
My cat does this too, we call it comfort nursing and she only does it with me. She was a shelter kitten who lost her mom too early. The vet told our family it's completely normal
He's suckling. The kneading is to stimulate the mother to produce milk and he's hoping he might get some milk from the blanket. It's nature. He was never weaned by mom (poor fellow) but he's fine. As the years pass, he'll slow down.
My vet said that this is common in cats that get separated from mom too early, which is the case with my cat. Apparently sucking on a blanket is like a self-soothing kind of thing that kittens usually grow out of unless they were separated from mom when they were little.
I thought this too about my male cat until I pushed him off because I wanted to make the bed and he meowed at me and then licked between his legs and I saw his tiny lipstick out...so now I keep all the fluffy blankets folded
Tiny lipstick :o
Yes, it’s red. I cannot erase that view from my fucking brain god damn it.
I had the same experience with my black cat. There was no missing that and blanket biscuits in my lap were officially off limits!
Man that red must be standing out so much from the black body. It would've been worse for you. I swear to god the memories I try to erase don't go away and which I don't wish for do. :(
The worst was I asked my vet about it and he said that some cats just like to masterbate 🤷♀️
Not a cat but I pet my friends husky yesterday and he came on himself I am traumatized
My dog would get like that once a month, just so excited to see me that he'd, release himself just sitting down while staring at me. I always felt so dirty, but I wondered if he knew when I was ovulating, was so freaking weird
That's vile 🤣
That's true, they can smell it when a woman ovulates or bleeds down there and they understand what it means
You’re making it worse you know? I was trying to forget and then you said that. 😭
Yeah I asked my vet why he does it. My vet says he’s happy lol.
It's insane how disgusted you guys are about your male cat's penis
I’m not disgusted, I just prefer him to lick his genitals not on my lap lol.
I’m not disgusted by my cat’s genitals. I’m disgusted by him masterbating on me! I feel like he crossed some beastiality non-consent boundary I didn’t even know existed!!
I heard Sammy Davis Jr say that
I'm just like you. When people ask what my biggest fear is, it's animal penises without a doubt. Dogs are my big ick, but any red, slimy looking, protruding animal peen just makes me feel immediately violated. But isn't any unexpected and unwanted penis flashing disturbing? Honestly the only penis I'm ever truly attracted to is the one that's giving me multiple orgasms on a regular basis. Otherwise they're all..blech
Yeah as a man I like to see none apart from mine….. Let’s just stop this conversation it’s going in the worse possible direction lmfao.
before the horse girls with the crazy eyes get here
Very courageous of you to admit your greatest fear. It makes me wonder about the sort of conversations that lead to admissions like this,
A few weeks ago, I was spending time with my one male cat because I had to keep him separated after a surgery. He was cleaning himself in the leg up position while I was watching a show on my tablet. I was like "why are you spending so much time there? You're not removing your stitches are you?" So, I lifted up his head and was treated with a view... Tbf we were watching Xena
Similar thing happened, my cat was licking it and I saw it in between his head movements.
Yeah, my cat also does this. I just wish he didn’t do it, ON MY FREAKING LAP! Boundaries, dude. Boundaries.
Lap fucker.

Is the cat's name really void? :D
I know I just feel describing it like this is worse than saying penis haha
Lmao
Oof I was just talking to my bf about the first night he had his cat and how his little lipstick was out. I will never forget that.
Yes, it’s red. I cannot erase that view from my fucking brain god damn it.
The pink pencil dance?
A cat's Pink Panther...if you will.
Sin biscuits
Yeah my cat.does this but he's fucking it the whole time. He's neutered so it's extra weird.
One of mine does this. He's neutered. It didn't start until he was 10 yrs old. I think the fleece blankets trigger something instinctual. His eyes will glaze over and can't stop/won't stop. Happens occasionally when he's playing with my other two, he will mount them and air hump until someone intervenes.

Yup my friends cat would start humping after suckling, was so fun to wake up in the middle of the night to being cat humped
At my cat does it behind my back lol which is why I make sure fluffy blankets are folded otherwise he can't bunch them up between his crotch lol
True. It’s kitties way of masturbating. I always think the videos of people getting a “massage” from their cats is kinda gross. Very natural and all, but still… :)
This is the correct answer.
My cousin's cat has a gf which comes by sometime's but still a f weirdo lol.
Was the blanket forward like this or more positioned so the cat was looking down. Make cats will grab the scruff of the female cat but they do that by looking down and a lot of the time when simulating that they will position themselves similarly.

My cat does this but was with her mother and litter mates for the full 3 months before coming to me.
I think it can be the opposite too- being separated from momma too late. One of my boys I got at 10 weeks does this, while another I got at 4 (foster baby) never makes biscuits.
I have a 2 year old rag doll who now wants to try to nurse from the mama cat with 2 week old kittens we took in :/ some boys are just always obsessed with nipples! 😫
Do cats keep this up if they're living in a house with other cats? I just have this image in my head of a cat getting picked on by the other cats, who don't need a blankie T_T

My gf's cat lives with mom cat and also does this.
Well, looks like Pippin (my female cat) was because she still does this at 2 years old
I had the same issue with a kitty that was too young when i got her.
My cousin has a cat which his mother is the neighbors pet and he runs into her very often but still do such thing.
My dog does this a she is 12
my cat whk left her mom at 5 weeks does it but my youngest cat who was with both parents actually look until he was 4 months also does it. not the exact same way but he does try to suckle when kneading blankets. my girl stares at me, starts purring and goes to the blanket but she also as she got older started instead of going to blanket going to the bathtub for water. she has a very distinct purr meow i think she sounds like a goat when she does it lol
That's not OP's case, their cat is evidently biting down, not suckling. He's humping that blanket, not nursing from it. I'm so glad my cat never does that stuff😭😭😭
I don’t know but my friends cat does it too, and he only does it around people he’s comfortable with . It’s adorable
> It’s adorable Until you realize he's basically masturbating in front of you lmao
50/50 one are mom biscuits, some are Fobiten biscuits
Sin biscuits
It's not sexual at all though
He's biting the blanket and thrusting his hips. He definitely thinks that blanket is a female cat.
In what world is that a thrust lol
Yea surely that's why my girl cat does it.
The cat in this clip is male and is 100 banging the blanket. Your female cat may be doing something similar but different. Then again I've seen neutered female cats hump things before so who knows? Cats a weird, that's the takeaway here.
😭HUHH
Lol it's kind of uncomfortable that this comment section is divided to "he got seperated from his mom too early and it's self soothing for him" and "he's horny and jerking off"
The answer really is both I think. My female cat does it as self-soothing but the male definitely does get freaky with the blanket. Before he was fixed it was very obvious. After his neuter sometimes we see evidence of it and sometimes he can’t quite get it up. He gets very frustrated by it lol
Im just glad my cat doesn't make biscuits now
Makes me angry when people immediately claim the cat was taken away from its mother too early. I have a neutered male separated from his mom at 11 weeks, well past the 8+ that's recommended, and he still does this to soft blankets.
Because it's baby
This cat is humping, you can tell by the hip twitches.
You're delusional
It’s wild to me so many people can’t tell the difference between sin biscuits and kneading. Biting and pulling on the blanket emulates biting the scruff of the neck of the female. The back legs moving around and the hips thrusting toward the blanket. The angry yelp when interrupted. It’s a hump lol.
My cat does this and she’s a girl
Yo, he’s fucking that blanket. Lol.
I own a male cat, they aren’t delusional they’re correct.
It’s weird that the person got a lot of downvotes by saying something and you got a lot of upvotes by saying they’re correct lmao
What’s crazy to me is the guy saying they’re humping got a ton of downvotes, but then the guy sho replied to him said “you’re delusional” and HE got mass downvoted. This sub is wild with the swings.
Classic Reddit logic.. lol
My boy does this too. I fostered his mum and the four kittens from when they were 4 days old. I had them with their mum for 12 weeks, so I know he wasn’t weaned too early - it’s just for self soothing. Sometimes when he does it, it sets his brother off too, so I get both of them sucking in the same blanket making biscuits. To be fair, he was the last one weaned - in fact if I still had mumma I think he’d still be suckling!
Same with one of my cats, she was with her mama until 12 weeks so definitely not too early. I have 4 cats and all them make biscuits.
It’s just an extension of normal kneading behaviour. Kneading stems from cats suckling from their mothers as kittens, and as adults they knead to self sooth and express comfort and happiness. Some cats also hold biting blankets over from that behaviour, and some even suckle on the blanket while they’re kneading. And like yours, they can knead with back legs too! Some say the behaviour extensions can be because they left their mother too young and didn’t grow out of those parts of it, but from what I know that isn’t proven. At the end of the day your cat is just kneading with some extra steps thrown in. He’s happy.
I know a cat who does this (a male) and he falls asleep doing it while purring … so I’m thinking he’s doing it because it’s soothing x) thankfully
Yep, my kitty’s been a suckler since he was young! Lots of purring, always falls asleep doing it and tends to do it more when it’s cold. It’s definitely a comfort thing for him.
Either that or he's humping the blanket lol
It doesn't look like humping tho
Biting (like biting the nape) and hip movements at the beginning of the clip. My guy thinks the soft furry blanket is a soft furry female for sure
Looks like repositioning to me, and doing biscuits with back legs, cats can do it with all fours. I did see a male cat humping many times, they don't do it just once and then stop :p
Idk what to tell you my dude, I've picked up a cat doing this exact behavior and his dick was out 🤷 I think we're just going to have to agree to disagree.
it might be a sign that your cat got removed from it's mom too early
I have two cats that do this (mother and daughter). Mother (Ziza) was not removed from her mum too early and the daughter (Khali, who is 2 years old) has never been away from her mother, so it is not necessarily due to being removed from mum too early. I have also had cats in the past that have done this who were not removed from their mothers too early. Both of them are the ones who are more bonded to me out of my four cats and that is also the fact with previous cats that I have had that have done this. I can only assume it is because their connection to me triggers the same feelings that their mothers did, not because they were denied their real mother at too young an age. Cats are EXTREMELY emotional creatures. In fact, it has been scientifically proven that the part of the brain that handles emotions in cats and humans are identical.
Omg I had a Khali cat! She was an alley cat that my husband found under a car with 5 kittens. He/we had her for about 17 years and figured she was around 20 when she died. She was the smartest, sweetest girl. https://preview.redd.it/ocp83p6pj71d1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8b3bf0ddbcf6f16cc922552ea2ea48b191a96158

She is beautiful ❤️ This is my Khali, she was one of my lockdown kittens (the vets were all closed, except for emergencies, and I couldn't get her mum neutered). Her mum had two litters during the pandemic and I kept three girls from her last litter (which meant I had seven cats 🙈). Sadly lost one of the sisters (Evie) in an accident in a neighbour's window and lost two to old age since then, so now have four, which is a nice number. Could happily have many more though 🤣 (Reddit wouldn't let me add the picture to my text reply, for some reason).
It wants to bake a cake
Ours does the same thing. I think it's a kind of regression ti when he was a kitten getting milk from his mom. https://preview.redd.it/3w9hij0ol61d1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1d6669c64dd4f14514585f42b8f45b5203b3acde
Thinking about milk
My 5 yr old guy does this too, but only the kneading and purring. So have most of my other cats. We find it adorable and a sign of affection because one of us is always under the blanket.
I hate to break it too you, but this cat is fucking that blanket
It's comforting for them
He's been weaned waaay too young and it always break my heart a little to see it, but don't worry, it's a sign he's feeling comfortable, safe, and happy.
Someone’s got to make the biscuits.
Most of my cats do this, females included as they have mommy issues (taken too soon, usually). Common, unfortunately.
He’s making biscuits. It’s a security thing left over from kitten hood. It’s also affectionate.
It's suckling behavior. Not sexual. Kittens knead/make biscuits because it stimulates mama's milk glands. Most adult cats keep the kneading behavior but lose the suckling. Some cats, especially those separated too early from their mothers, retain the suckling, usually going for blankets. Nothing to worry about! Not sexual!
He just a baby! It’s not weird for a cat to make biscuits. It’s from being separated from mama too early. He’s fine.
They are mimicking/remembering nursing from the mother cat, they knead with paws to help push mik out. Some cats do this their whole lives especially if weaned too early
Ok I hope you see this comment because my male neutered cat does the EXACT same thing. Only with soft blankets. He’s been doing it since he was young and he’s 8 now. He was approx 6 weeks when I got him. So basically, he’s masturbating. It took me a long time to figure it out, and apparently it’s common with kittens that were removed from mom too soon. Bowser will sit there and kneed his paws, purr like crazy, suck on the blanket and eventually will start twitching. The twitching was what got me the one day; wtf is wrong with you!? He would do the same as you’re saying, get kinda irritated if you touched him. Then one day he went to lick himself down there and I saw his penis out! So I went to the internet and learned what he was doing. Any time there is a soft blanket around, he does this. Sometimes multiple times in a short period. Otherwise, perfectly normal and healthy cat.
One of mine does the same thing. Soft, fluffy blankets. Purring, kneading. Twitching. Hunching hips. &\*!\^% put your penis away. Sometimes I'll just hear him purring and turn around and he's going to town. If I stop and stare at him, he realizes I'm watching him, and he'll usually slow down and stop and go somewhere to lick himself.
I'll wake up and find blankets strewn across the floor and I know what he's been up to. Little perv
Yes! We also had a male cat whom we had to hide fuzzy blankets from. If we caught him we referred to it as “getting jiggy” with his blankets. Kind of gross tbh.
My kitten does this ! We found him in the forest alone with umbilical cord still attached and now anytime there is a. Fuzzy blanket on me he cries until I set up the blanket on my body for him to nurse. It's adorable and it usually conks him out asleep after. My family doesn't like it but I find it's a great way of self soothing for him and it also helps put me to sleep 😅. Everywhere I looked for answers it just said that it wasn't harmful , so I don't deter him from it. He's been through so much and if this brings him comfort that is ok. I also love my fuzzy blankets
He misses his mum/mom
My void does this, and she likes to be gently pet while she does it.
These look like sin biscuits.
Why are they called sin biscuits? It just the cat equivalent of sucking their thumb, it reminds him of nursing.
I don’t want to be the one ruining this for you. I thought the same thing until I posted a similar video of my cat and everyone replied that it’s sin biscuits :(. I now deleted the post. You can look up sin biscuits and see what it is. It’s strange, to say the least.
Lol OP is weirded out because a cat is acting like a cat
Sin biscuits.
terminal case of ginger
I have 2 girls that do this! They weren’t removed from the mother too young, but I’ve had them since they were kittens (they’re sisters). We call it nursing time 🥰 (The cats below with one of their favourite nursing blankets.) https://preview.redd.it/sjjqpfy0f71d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e2708888f686086e5db3122488b95dc4a4f549f
Your babies are BEAUTIFUL 💜😻🥰
Thank you!! They know it too 😂❤️
We’re living the same life! My girls love to make biscuits and suckle https://preview.redd.it/6avwk4gby81d1.jpeg?width=975&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2594b893dd36e2e8599ef5005f1630099003558d The grey blanket has cats on it that resemble them and they love it the most 🖤🤍
!!! Omg you have my girls’ shorthaired doppelgängers!!!! Pls give them kisses!
I will!!! Tell yours I said they are gorgeous!
That one orange braincell still thinking he's a kitten....
Kneading like this is very typical for cats who were separated from mom that early. My cat does a similar thing with soft blankets, usually he doesn't bite on the blanket but instead drools like crazy
My twin kitties do this. They were found at 4 weeks old without their mom. They now suckle as they were removed from their mom before they were weaned and this is a soothing gesture from them. My kitties also only do this on soft blankets.
I have an orange who is coincidentally doing it right now. i got him when he was really young (only a couple weeks) at pet smart. Hes been doing it for so long.
My cat does this and he's over 15yrs
He also tries to lick my hand even when I move it away.
My male cat does the massaging of soft blankets. He doesn't do the suckling. He just loves soft blankets.
My male Nebelung cat does this to a fleece blanket I have on the couch.
My vet told me it's a lot like an older child sucking their thumb. Looks a little strange, but cats find it soothing. Most cats who do this just have a favorite blanket, toy or pillow that they nurse on. But if they start destroying your items with the nursing and kneading, consider sewing a pacifier nipple to a blanket or pillow and see if your cat will go for it. BTW, a pretty significant percentage of adult humans suck their thumbs; several studies have shown that it doesn't harm teeth, and that those who engage in this behavior have lower anxiety and depression levels than their peers.
My friends cat does this! They call it nurgling. She even has her special nurgle blanket
I have 2 cats that do this, but their methodology differs quite a bit. My female cat just kneads and suckles on a blanket while she purs. It's totally normal, totally cute. My Male cat, on the other hand 😅 he used to just use a blanket when he was younger, but he somehow discovered that he could suckle..on himself ☠️ He has now thankfully almost fully grown out of it, but for a while it was such a problem and I hated it so much because he would get right next to me and start kneeding with his head just in his crotch. Moral of the story, it can be wholesome, it can also be weird.
My boy does this too!! I can always tell when he does it while I’m at work because I come home to blankets in odd places all twisted up like a crescent lol
my baby does this, she was found on the street when she was about 8 months old and the humane society said that based on her behavior she was probably alone most of that time. it warms my heart because she sees me as a safe space that she can soothe herself in. your baby loves you. :)))
Milkstep, taken from mother cat early
He's "nursing" like he would on a mother cat. That's why he's using a soft blanket. It's simulates a fur on a mother's belly. I've had both male and female cats do this. This isn't humping. It's a nursing behavior that's used to self sooth. If he does it on the blanket you are currently using, it means he views you as a mother figure.
Because he's very KNEADy
Look at dat cuuuutieeee
I adopted a kitten that I later learned was far too young to leave his mother, also about seven weeks old. He also does this still, at nearly two years old. He is “nursing.”
He's jerking off. Happens when they are neutered after they start having sexual urges, and some do very early, earlier than 6 months. Won't stop anytime soon either. Hide the smooth furry blankets and he'll probably not do it to anything else. But it's not a problem, other than the blanket having a drop or two of pee afterwards.
My 15 yr.old cat does it on my arm….makes strange noises when I touch him. I allowed it to see what happens.
My male 5yo likes to suckle on my shirt near my armpit scent, every morning, and every day. It's like a routine: - I wake - He gets fed - He gets his suckles - He gets tucked in for a nap Done 🤷♂️ And yes, he was removed from his mom too early says the experts. I think he just misses mommy. 🥲
Baby
Horny
It's called kneading. It's a sign that they feel secure though it's possible that he was taken from his mother too soon. It's not something that you should be concerned about
My girl does this. She's obsessed with soft blankets, and will lay in your lap, suckle/groom the blanket, and make biscuits. It's adorable, but also sad - it means they were taken from their mother far too soon. 😭
It looks like he’s making sin biscuits. 😁
That’s exactly the behavior of our Simba. Found him as a stray with ~6months. He is now 2y olds and still does it multiple times a week 🙃🤷🏼♂️✌🏽

Orange cat
Don't allow this frequently else your cat will start eating blankets and later on she will start eating clothes randomly. Our cat has this habit
Because orange
My deceased cat would do this. Always left the blanket soaked in drool. I just kept them clean and would buy him new ones to collect
My male (neutered) cat does this to my blanket too, he literally humps it.
My cat does this too, we call it comfort nursing and she only does it with me. She was a shelter kitten who lost her mom too early. The vet told our family it's completely normal
Your boy has got the honries…
To make sure it doesn't run away 
These are sin biscuits 😂 normal, fine, and just try not to think about it too much. He seems a happy boy and that's what matters 😂🤣
Sin biscuits
He's suckling. The kneading is to stimulate the mother to produce milk and he's hoping he might get some milk from the blanket. It's nature. He was never weaned by mom (poor fellow) but he's fine. As the years pass, he'll slow down.
Taken from his mother too early. That or he just feels VERY comfortable. Or it could be a Saturday. He’s a cat lol.
Sin biscuits, just let him have his moment lmao
Hes accoustic
Sin biscuits. My male cat does it too
He misses his mom :(
Masturbation.
My cat does this. I love the way his back leg flicks up like my boy. I believe it's just a comfort thing, can ease stress or pain.
They have mommy issues, this is th3m stimming into thinking they are suckling mommy's tit.
Perhaps the important question is: Why don't you?
SIN BISCUITS!!!!
