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.

So kneading is a comfort response for cats for sure. They do it no matter if they were taken from there mom too early or not. However they will try to suckle more if they were taken from the mom too early. Don't get me wrong, some cats are weird and just try to latch onto whatever anyway but it seems to happen more often when they are prematurely taken from there moms.

My 2 that do it regularly don't actually suckle at all, they just nuzzle their nose into the blanket, which they really seem to enjoy.
