The Art of Kneading (Calico)

Front paws pressing down, one after the other. On blankets, on your belly, sometimes even into thin air. Kneading is a kitten behavior — what they did while nursing from their mother. Even as adults, they can't forget that comfort, repeating it whenever they feel safe and happy. When a calico cat kneads her paws, it's a confession made with her body instead of words: "I'm happy right now." Every rhythmic press of orange, black, and white paws plays the quietest love song in the world. 🐾💕
