my cat does this also. not the calm, loving, kneading but he is hunched over with wide eyes and his back legs are shaking almost like a seizure. when i pet him he is startled like he didn't know i was there. i don't know what it is but it creeps the hell outta me.

Kneading Cats by: Anonymous
I think its a way to comfort themselves because it reminds them of kitten hood. (Kittens knead their mamas teat while nursing) My cats do this trace like kneading (sometimes drooling) when they're sleepy and about to pass out. In my opinion, it is relaxing and comforting.

Both my boys and girls do this when they WANT love. After they get love then they do a soft kneading ( and mine drool like a waterfall too)

If your cat is a male, it is probably a substitute for sexual activity.
