My Maine Coon Cat

[Sam Emerson]

Hello My Name is Sam Emerson and i have had my Maine Coon for 4 years now and i have been trying to find out why he kneads and bites my blanket when i sleep if anyone could help me out with this that would be great.
He also does not let go of the blanket.


Thank you.!

sorry i should have posted this on this topic.

Mine does that and unfortuently she now gets locked out of the bedroom at night. I came to that decision when she spent one whole hour non stop kneading the duvet right by my face. Im not sure why they do it but I think its across the whole cat spectrum and not just maines.

A lot of cats do it, it's quite common. Apparently they are trying to replicate feeding from their mothers - the padding of the paws stimulates the mum's milk. All in all, the sign of a very contented puss

Most cats do it and it is exactly what Rachel-C says, it is behavoiur from when they are babies trying to get milk from their mom. And it does mean a happy cat! I have heard of some cats who knead on your stomach with claws so I don't mind Roark kneading the blanket!

You mean you haven't also got the drooling? Lucky you. Two of my fur babies drool in happiness too. I love them all.
