Burning Ones

Well, Cute Overload was curiously informative today, especially considering Fiery and her expertise as a nursing baby. As it turns out, the behaviour that certain kittehs display that we all find to be so cute is a nursing behaviour.

When a kitteh kneads some soft surface (aka, my own Buddha Belly) and purrs contentedly, they are actually recalling the behaviour they would exhibit whilst nursing from momma kitteh where kneading her belly would promote better milk flow as they sucked. This is also why they purr, because they more than likely are recalling the yummy milk that momma kitteh used to provide for them.

Anyway, follow that link above for the original story. It has a nice little video of a kitteh falling asleep in her efforts to knead effectively. However, the most important reader of this post is most assuredly Fiery, who must learn ever more effective methods such as the ‘knead and purr’ for becoming fat and happy.

Knead on, Fiery!
