RE: Strange Night Kneading Behavior

Hi There,



Welcome to the board!



I believe that this behavior is sexual and it is not unusual at all. Some male cats will start out by kneading and end up aroused when they really get into it. One of my boys does this on a regular basis, although he has slowed down in his old age.



My feeling is that this behavior is not harmful in any way so I have never tried to discourage it. In order to stop the sexual part you would probably have to discourage the kneading in the first place, since one leads to the other.
