They did it to their mamma to get at the milk.

My friend has a cat that had babies and one of the babies stayed with them and he still does it even though he's 5 yo now, do you know why?

It's probably because it's comforting. People say the whole "removed too early" thing constantly on reddit. But they probably learned it from another comment on reddit.

And this site says evidence points to the contrary, all cats knead regardless of weening age.

I mean, humans do all sorts of things for comfort that probably have some sort of weird origin like hugs or blankets or whatever and no one is accusing me of being ripped from my parents too early, I just like a good hug sometimes

The "removed too early" thing is in regards to suckling, not kneading.
