    Hi Paul, I’m a crazy cat lady and I just wanted to give you vital information that I know will make your day. Kneading is a common behavior seen in domestic cats, in which the feline pushes in and out with its front paws, alternating between left and right. (see https://www.livescience.com/40548-why-do-cats-knead.html).

    The comment from the listener who emailed you about this really resonated with me. I have two cats, one who used to knead me on a regular basis. He can’t anymore because he developed a tumor on one of this front legs and it had to be amputated.. I delayed taking him to the veterinarian because I was too depressed and anxious. I was in denial for months and if I had taken him in right away, he probably wouldn’t have lost his leg. I feel so guilty about that. At least this has motivated me and I’ve been better about taking my medication and seeing my therapist ever since. I never want to my mental health issues to inadvertently cause pain to the ones I love like that, ever again.
