Biscuits

I know many of my feline friends enjoy making biscuits. For those of you not familiar with the term, you'll likely recognize the description.

A kitty is thought to be "making biscuits" when they knead soft dough with their front paws. Some kitties are advance biscuit makers and can also knead with the back paws too.

The dough? Well, any soft substance will do, blankets, etc. but the best dough is tender human flesh.

The more tender the better, less work to soften it up. Sometimes you knead the biscuit dough to make your future nap spot just the way you like it, pliable and soft, and sometimes you make biscuits when you're enjoying your pets (these are happy paw biscuits).

For me, no dough is better than the soft, flabby, and tender flesh of the back of Mom's upper arm. As a kitten I loved when she would lay on her side and expose my favorite spot. I would push into the dough with my wet nose too. Nice.

I purr so loud that I don't even hear "Seriously cat, can you move those paws around? I'm numb in that spot." I like to concentrate on one perfectly tenderized spot.

I don't make biscuits as often as I used to, Mom is pretty tender, but I do have my moments. Sometimes I forget myself in the process and remember being a tiny kitten with Mother Tabby. It's a nice memory.

Anyone else love making biscuits?

  5. Binga is a four-footed biscuit maker. I'm very dainty and I only use my front paws. And we are not allowed to do it on my human unless she is covered with a blanket. Which is just fine with us - she's too tough and would be an awful lot of work.

  8. We do love to make biscuits too. WE don't do Mom as much as we used to since she has gotten old and tough. But we knead the bed so it is soft for her to sleep in. Too funny Fin. Good memories.

  9. I never had an experience on human fresh. I only use my front paws and do on my pawrents' dressing gowns and only do on night time when everyone sleep. When I've done I'm sleep on top of it. I really want to call " Make My Own Bed " because that what it was : )

  12. Chumley used to make biscuits on the mom, or any blanket, and suckle too, so she has said. We don't. Nicki makes them on blankets, and Derry, who never made biscuits at all until more recently (learned from Nicki), will only do it for a few moments on a soft blanket. Annie would make biscuits too, but not for very long.

  13. Oh yes, I love to make biscuits. I almost always make them in my couch bed before I settle for a snooze. Lishy makes biscuits sometimes, but he always does it with very straight elbows. He looks like he is marching, it looks very funny. Fui has only ever done it twice that mum has seen, both when he was having cuddles in bed with mum.

  18. Ahhh...what great memories, Fin. Some of us here still make biscuits, but we like Mom's tummy best 'cause it's nice and squishy.

  19. Fin, we can just imagine you, kneading away. Grayce is the chief Bean-kneader here, and she LOVES to tenderize Mommy's chesticals!

    When she's allowed to, that is.

  21. oh you made us laugh about your mom's arm lol!!

    Cody used to ALWAYS make biscuits and my husband and I have noticed in the past month he seems to have closed up his bakery. Any ideas as to why this is?

  22. :-D Except for Minnie, we're all "bakers" here. Our mom doesn't always appreciate it when we use her for the dough...

  23. My biscuit making often includes little pinpricks with my claws because as you know dough does not rise well unless there is space for heat to escape.

  24. Mom says I am the best biscuit maker she has ever seen! ~Wally

    Fin, I'm one of those cats that can make biscuits with my back feets too. And I ONLY like making biscuits on my mom's squishy arms. ~Ernie

  25. Sounds like you've earned your Professional Biscuit Therapist license. I only make them on one particular blanket. Glogirly tries to cut down on the carbs you know.

    xo,
    Katie

    Glogirly LOVED your "street cred" remark. ; ) And you're right. It was a potentially harmful oversight on my part.

  26. What a great post, all my kitties make biscuits, its usually how I find out they need their nails cut. My smallest and oldest cat loves to help me watch TV, when I lay on my tummy she will climb my up my leg and perch on my butt and kneed to her hearts content, I am hoping she is getting rid of all the cellulite, but somehow I dodn't think thats whats really happening. ;) Have a great week!!

  30. I like making armpit biscuits and my litter-sister Cassiopeia makes biscuits in our mom's hair whe she sleeps at night! Mom lets both of us do this when we want to, but says our claws really hurt under her arm, and the hair thing can be annoying at 3am.

  31. Ralphie likes making boob and tummy biscuits, Nortin goes for the neck and face. Needless to say, the claws are kept short and smooth.
