Although no one can say with absolute certainty why, many experts believe cats "make biscuits" because they are replicating the attentions of their cat mom. Cats knead instinctively, often from kittenhood to adulthood. The act of walking all over you is closely related to the need to knead.
As Chewy puts it, "your lap is a cat bed." Much as she does with a pile of blankets, a pillow or the couch, your kitty needs to make sure she chooses the perfect napping spot, and walking all over you fulfills this goal. Your body heat gives your cat the security she craves.īasically, your feline friend sees you as one big cushion she can relax on. Domestic cats retain many of their kitten instincts, and that means they seek the safest spot in the house: with their cat parent. Young kitties need to stay warm to stay healthy, and they instinctively search for the comfort of a trusted caretaker who will keep them safe. This especially is true for kittens who are searching for a substitute for their mother. Most often, standing or walking on you is a precursor to her ultimate goal: staying warm. You may think that the number one reason your cat likes to walk on you is because she can, and you wouldn't be too far off the mark. But what about actions like walking all over you? Or standing on you right when you're trying to get some sleep? Read on to learn why this cat behavior means you're more than just part of the furniture.
