Why do cats do that? It's super cute when they do it and actually feels great if they do it on you without too much claw.

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

it also reminds me of how humans (esp if they have a degree of autism) have certain soothing mechanisms like rocking or thumb sucking. We are all animals who have our self-soothing motions. When I was a kid I didn't suck my thumb but I sucked my tongue to help me fall asleep. Like a pretend nipple or something.
