Hi There,

Your kitten does this because he is very happy! The behavior stems from kittenhood when he was nursing from his mom. Nursing kittens knead to help stimulate milk flow. This is a very happy time for a kitten.

One of my boys, Freddie, likes to knead my arm and suck on my shirt or PJs. He has done this since he was a baby and is now 3 years old. Sometimes he will even wake me up in the middle of the night doing this. It's his way of showing me that he loves me.

Regards,
PHKitkat
