Why Do Cats Knead Blankets. I am not sure about cats who have mothers but in my experience cats who don’t have moms do this. You might find your cat kneading blankets, stuffed animals, or other soft objects around the house.
Cats have sweat glands on their paw pads that produce a unique scent. While kneading doesn’t always yield milk, adult felines may always associate the motion with the comfort of nursing. A cat will knead a blanket with its paws to transfer this scent on the blanket, which is called scent marking.

Unlike dogs who have masters, cats have staff, after all. This is also a form of nesting instinct for a female cat. Generally to say, its the tender of the cats but we as a humans needs to know why cats knead. If your cat kneads its blanket, it is marking the item as its own.
