Kneading male neutered cat

by margaret karlan

Agitated Trance-like kneading in male neutered cat. My two year old male Ragdoll cat is a great cat but occasionally he jumps onto my husband's lap and starts kneading with his front paws and slightly arches his back.

He is not himself and is agitated during this time. My husband puts him down when he starts this. He is normally a loving social cat.

I looked up seizures and he doesn't have any of those symptoms. We mentioned it to the vet who didn't seem to be familiar with these traits.

kneading me only
by: Anonymous

Why does my female cat only kneads ME, never my husband although he does sit on his lap for long periods?

Kneading cat
by: Robin

I looked up this page because my male, neutered cat is also doing the aggressive kneading while arching his back. Sometimes he tries straddling my leg while he does this. It isn't the innocent kneading while being pet that I'm used to seeing cats doing. It seems much more domineering, compulsive and aggressive. I was worried my cat might have some time of urinary tract infection or something. I asked the vet about it a while back and they seemed mystified by the behavior. Even if I don't have an answer, I'm glad to see my cat isn't alone in this strange behavior, which leads me to believe it is natural and not caused by an illness.

Cat Kneads my stomach every morninng
by: Anonymous

I came here because I have the same issue with my male neutered 3 year old Weegie. He always jumps in my lap every morning and begins to knead my stomach. He also slobbers LOL. This morning, he latched onto my arm and began suckling! It shocked me because he looked exactly like a baby. I got him when he was only 4 weeks old.

Cat kneading with arched back
by: Catopia

The male cat is doing the same thing that you see male dogs do... Sort of. I have a male cat that has been neutered since the age of 12 weeks and he does the same thing. This strange behavior that seems aggressive, is pseudo mating. Basically, the cat is attempting to hump the person/ object that he is kneading "aggressively".

thank god for Cat kneading

My doc say she gets more patients that need to have breast examines because of the kneading the cat do on woman's chests........it helps find possible cancerous lumps.

weird kneading by my cat!
by: Anonymous

Hi, i no all cats knead and its quite normal but my two year old male cat sometimes acts very weird when kneading me. He begins to become obsessed with my hands and try to put all four paws on my hand and knead with all paws.

He also gets aggressive and meows a lot. If i move at all He will bite also! it looks like he is trying to mate but he has been neutered! i have had other cats and they never act this way! they would knead me when being stroked but nothing like this!

Kneading cat
by: Eric

This sounds exactly like what my newest cat is doing. It is a very strange looking dance. With the arched back, it almost looks like he is constipated when he does this. He does this every night he does this and will sometimes walk back and forth on me as I am trying to sleep.

He will step on my face and head, and the claws in his back feet come out. Sometimes, he will do this for several minutes and then show some aggressive behavior towards one of my other cats, usually biting them on the back of the neck.

neutered cat trying to "mate"
by: susan

My 4 yr old neutered male cat does this also. It's not your typical kneading, he also arches his back and starts moving his back legs so that he is straddling the blanket, pillow, leg..whatever.

He's neutered but appears to be trying to mate with whatever it is he's kneading. After he is done with this he rolls over and licks his "privates". Needless to say, we're pretty put off by this behavior...not sure what to do!

Kneading in cats
by: Madeleine Weymouth

Hi, I find your topic interesting, kneading is something that kittens do to their mother when suckling, they often purr when they are doing this as my kittens are doing now. The mother also purrs and it seems that this is affectionate behavior between cats. It may be that your cat was taken away from its mother a little bit early and does this as a son would do to its mother as a kitten.

I know that the cats claws come out and go back in during this so it can be uncomfortable.
Your cat is probably just wanting a stroke and affection but doesn't know how to get it. I had a cat that used to jump on my chest and knead my chest in the morning and even sometimes nibble my nose until I woke up. I figured that he wanted breakfast, lol. It is strange but not to the cat who see's you as its parents and wants affection or in my cats case food. :)
