If a cat kneads on its owner's blankets, it usually means the cat is enjoying a sense of comfort and security. Kneading is a natural habit for cats; they use this method when they are young to stimulate their mothers to produce milk.
As cats grow into adults, this behavior may evolve into a way of expressing affection that brings comfort. Cats may also use this method to mark their territory. Cats typically knead in their own designated areas, such as on a bed or sofa.
