If you're a cat owner, chances are you know what kneading is all about. When cats become content and happy, they often knead on their owners and cat lovers often refer to it as "making biscuits."

They do this by pushing both of their paws into the person's body in a rhythmic motion that resembles - well, how one might knead dough to make bread or pasta.... or biscuits.

It's an adorable gesture and one that owners will gladly deal with. However, it turns out this cute little gesture can sometimes cross the line from 'adorable' to something a bit more awkward than we'd like.

In a Reddit post that has since gone viral, several cat owners have come forward to share some of their most awkward moments as a result of this feline kneading. With some stories now getting thousands of upvotes, it's clear that these experiences are too hilarious to ignore.

Each story is a little different, but one thing is the same: they're all awkward. It's something that owners can't help but giggle at as their cat performs this strange ritual.

We've rounded up a few of the best kitty kneading stories from Reddit users below. These are bound to make you laugh and cringe a little, but hey - it's the fun kind of cringe.

1. A Redditor started a conversation, stating how awkward kneading can get sometimes

Kneading is a common behavior in kittens especially, and adult cats are also known to exhibit this trait. This is done by flexing and relaxing their front paws rhythmically against a soft surface, with the claws retracted.

Cat owners often describe it as if they are "making biscuits" on their human's lap or stomach. It has also been interpreted as the cat has a need to "burp out the air" after eating, although recent studies suggest instead that the actual process of kneading releases endorphins in a cat's brain, contributing to their feeling of well-being.

The action is often accompanied by purring and commonly occurs when a cat is happy or content. Interestingly, kneading is not common in wild cats, and it is thought the behavior only developed once cats began living with humans.

The kneading action seems to be a form of communication or simply an expression of satisfaction. As such, if your cat is kneading you, they are most likely very content at that moment in time.

The short stories that follow show how cats will sometimes take this gesture a little too far. It's all in good fun, though - just an odd and funny experience to have with your pet cat.
