If you put them on something really comfortable (like a fluffy pillow) they sometimes ram their head into it and push against it with their paws, purring and drooling like mad.
 
It's more to do with the scent that's on it than the 'fluffiness'. Cats have a thing for my smell, one of my mums used to roll around on my work shirt when I took it off and our current cat tries sniffing my armpits when i'm watching telly on the sofa.

The paw thing is called 'padding' , IIRC it reminds them of their mother or something like that and they're extremely happy when they're padding. My cat never does that. She rarely gets excited about anything. She's scared by the littlest thing, even though it's a quiet house and she's cared for like a child and given so much fuss.
 
everything about cats behaviour goes back to those first few weeks when it was a new born with its mother, when you stroke a cat it reminds it of when its mother would groom it. when they do the clawing thing on a cushion they are attempting to nest on that spot, and if you want a cat to trust you, always look at it with your eyes only partially open. ;)

Indeed, good post.
 
Our cat used to do that on a sheepskin rug be had (she loved it so much we burried her in it when she died :)). I never really thought about why, I guess it just makes them happy, it does seem a bit strage though.

ive had many cats and have loved them all :)

I absolutely adore cats. Problem is, the house I am in it's a rule that pets aren't allowed. Or I don't think they're either.

When I'm in a stable job with a decent house in a quiet area away from main roads, I'm getting two. A black one and a british blue. There is a black cat that comes and sits outside my front door and other times the edge of our front garden for some fuss. Gets me everyday on the way out:)

cats are odd things in general... walking along with that tail in permanent question mark formation... :D

Am I the only person who has pictures of the wife of a polygamist rolling around on her sons shirts?

ROFL, yes, re-reading his post it could be taken that way. Haha.

Yes.

Iirc the padding thing goes back to the suckling where the padding promotes the flow of milk or something.

its when there nesting, not sure how many of you have seen kittens nesting but they literally clamp onto a teet and then kind of sqeeze either side of the teet to help the flow, abit like milking a cow.
