Dr. Sarah Wooten of Cats.com, who previously shared why cats knock things over, talked about several theories as to why felines knead surfaces with their paws. Wooten further explained that this habit, known as making biscuits", could be left over from kittenhood, when they kneaded their mother's belly for milk. It also could be to prepare for sleep, to leave their scent behind, or just stretch their paws.
