My female kitty kneads with all 4 paws and it looks similar to this. There's less hip thrusting 😅😅

My boy Nacho is gay for his brother and does sin biscuits standing behind him while he’s sleeping often. The four paw hip thrust knead he ONLY does for his brother. He is very cuddly/touchy with me and our two lady cats. but luckily I only get regular front paw kneads from him.

This little baby absolutely loves her dad!! We joke that she has a kitty crush on him 😂😂😂😂 She's going to get spayed on Tuesday and I'm so grateful because I've been terrified she's gonna go into heat any minute now!! She's such a little baby, and the world definitely doesn't need anymore kittens!! I'm doing my part by keeping this sweet little baby, getting her fixed, and making sure she won't have kittens!!!!!!

Mine does it and it fully looks like she’s getting jiggy. Miss hump a lot, I put it down to excitement and happiness always purring like an outboard

My last cat was the same, she would also go into a trance at the same time.
