Why Does My Cat Treat Blankets Like Kittens?

cat people, can we talk about the weird stuff our fur overlords do? My cat, Mochi, has this bizarre habit: every time he finds a soft blanket, he grabs a corner in his mouth and starts kneading like he’s auditioning for a bread commercial. It’s cute, but also—what’s going on in that tiny, mysterious brain? Apparently, this is some deep kitten nostalgia. When cats are babies, they knead their moms to get milk. Blankets are the next best thing when you’re a grown-up cat with no mom in sight. Holding the blanket in his mouth? That’s just Mochi channeling his inner kitten, feeling safe and comforted. Honestly, I get it. If I could self-soothe by drooling on my favorite hoodie, I probably would too. Anyone else’s cat do this? Or am I raising a tiny, fluffy weirdo?
