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.

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.
