It is likely that more than once you have been watching television or resting and have noticed how your furry has approached you and started to give you massages. That is a moment that can be repeated daily if you live with a particularly affectionate feline, but have you ever wondered why it does it?
It is not that I am practicing to be a masseur, although it may often seem otherwise. Let's see why does my cat massage me.
The act of kneading or massaging he does when he feels good, comfortable with you. He started doing it as soon as he was born, with the aim of getting more milk from his mother, and he will continue to do so throughout his life every time he wants to show you how much he loves you.
Obviously, you will not be able to give him breast milk, but you will be able to give him a lot of pampering to let him know that you also feel very comfortable with his company, which will undoubtedly strengthen your relationship.
One thing that you may notice, especially if you are raising or have raised a kitten with a bottle or syringe, is that as long as he loves he will have something bitten, the blanket, the jacket you are wearing, ... whatever is under it. I can't tell you if it stops biting when it reaches adulthood, but what I can assure you is that it does so because it is used to biting the bottle or the syringe. And being an animal of habit, it can be difficult to remove any. But this one in particular does not usually pose a problem.
The act of kneading is a very beautiful act, very natural in felines. It is the perfect opportunity to strengthen ties between humans and cats, so I recommend you make the most of them.
