Her favorite activity was snuggling up on my lap and kneading me. We eventually had to send her to a shelter because winter was growing near. This left a huge hole in my heart. I do wonder where and how she is today :( Thank you for reminding me of her love and trust for me 😽

My cat doesn't knead very often at all, but you can tell just by looking at her that she's going to knead the hell out of you. Her tail shoots straight up, it fluffs out to fox-like proportions and she actually purrs (something she very rarely does). It's cute, but painful. Not because of claws, but because of big muscles and dainty feet.

Most domestic animals have some neoteny going on, both behavioral and physical. It seems to be closely linked to domestication. (see the Russian fox experiment). And human are arguably neotenic. We may have basically self-domesticated.
@Stoned_Pony 10 жыл бұрын
That's what I kept thinking about the whole time- the Russian fox experiment. I saw it on a documentary called Dogs Decoded. Really good documentary. Never thought about us humans having self domesticated, but it almost makes sense. Doesn't really fit the technical definition of domestication (selective breeding to benefit humans), but in sense that domesticated species tend to lose their aggressive survival traits in exchange for more fun juvenile traits, I'd say we fit the bill.

@rjday753 10 жыл бұрын
Good question, maybe symmetry?
@IceMetalPunk 10 жыл бұрын
I can think of a few possible explanations. Firstly, much of our bodies are symmetric, something we owe to homeobox genes. This allows a few nice traits: binary vision, somewhat directional hearing, and multiple balanced limbs to name a few. Maybe lungs just got pulled along for the symmetry ride. Or perhaps they evolved because it's possible to live with only one lung, so having two allows more resilience to lung damage and disease. Those are just my two hypotheses; you might be able to find more info about it on Google, if such studies have been done.

Because Schrödinger's Cat. If you don't know about Schrödinger's Cat, it's about an experiment where a German scientist wanted to experiment what would happen if he put a cat inside a box with a poison trap inside it. He placed the cat in the box for 24 hours and before checking it, he theorized that the cat is both dead and alive, this proves evidence of multiple parallel universes, because in one universe, the cat would be alive, and in another universe, the cat would be dead.

im 44 years old. and took in a cat for the first time about 4 months ago. the cat was completely feral and his mother is a mountain cat. he has made a awesome friend. but for the first time in my life I woke up and wondered why he kneads. and then 4 hours later this vid was published. what exactly are the odds of this?

those things usually happen. i have a not very exiting example: im not a native english speaker, and one day i read the definition of the word "pun". after that i started finding puns and punsters on almost every comment column i've read. that's odd too.

The answer is in the question: your cat is a 'feral' cat, not a 'wild' cat. Feral cats are domesticated cats that found their way back into the wild, meaning that they contain many of the domesticated traits, kneading being a prime example; that they then take to the wild with them. Had the cat been completely wild, it would have been unlikely that he would have befriended you in the first place.

***** Isn't that the human misconception that the more events you have the more probable a particular outcome is... in reality the probality is the same each event. If you have a 1/5 chance of winning a prize and you don't win the prize the first 10 times then it doesn't make you more likely to win the prize the 11th time- still 0.2 chance.

thanks for answering you guys. I guess it is inevitable given population #s in both specie. but add in that ive never had a cat before and it just seemed so ironic. but yea the odds aren't to terribly great. as I mentioned a really great pet

I don't find cats kneading too painful, as long as it ain't my hands, it is fine.

My cat was declawed when we got him, & the kneading is actually a really good massage

A video exploring the theories of self-domestication would be interesting, I think. Self-domestication being the theory that the natural evolutionary process for certain species selects for traits that are associated with domestic phenotypes, similar to those selected for by humans in breeding domestic animals. It's related to the theory that domestication is a prolongation of juvenile traits, which I was reminded of in this video.

I work (well volunteer, basically free labour) at a cat adoption centre and have found many of the cats that were abandoned as kittens are the ones that continue sucking on (for example) the fur on their legs when kneading into maturity. Also I used to call it 'pounding grape', like people do to make wine, mainly because I'd never bothered to look up if it was actually called something.

why are some people double jointed and others aren't? also why are some people more flexible than others?

BBOY SPARX There is no such thing as being "double-jointed". It's joint hypermobility syndrome. I can't even imagine an arm with 4 or more joints. The number of joints are the same. They're just more mobile.

So while I was watching this my kitten was kneading and nuzzling her nose against my phone. And she loves watching KZfaq with me too. She's such a dork but I love her. I wish I could share a picture of her cuteness lol

So, childlike tendencies are retained into adulthood by domesticated animals - like humans? I think this explains a lot.
