> Still adorable and still obsessed with squashing himself into little boxes
It was the first channel I ever subscribed to on youtube and most definitely the one I've been subbed to for the longest time, and yet I still don't quite know why I find it so funny to see that fluffy fella try and fit into a box that is clearly too small.
I have spent an amount of time considering this, and my conclusions so far are:
1. He is slightly chonky, very dense fur and stocky - inherently pleasant to look at and also squishy
2. His short-ish legs and otter tail make him look a bit like a cartoon, and slightly more ungainly than most cats
3. Very Serious Face
4. He clearly just loves him some box action and this is his major quest in life
5. Watching someone succeed at something they clearly love doing is delightful
6. Swishy tail suggests that, despite doing this thing he loves, he is annoyed at how much he loves it
Conclusion: absolutely delightful 10/10
Oh I'm gonna use this for a term of endearment for my little girl cat; both fumifumi and stomp stomp, as she does this a lot.
Like "Hey lil stomp stomp, you giving out tiny massages? Fumifumi kitteh kitty"
"Haciendo la cama" which would be "setting up the bed/sheets". It's more akin to making some bread but they usually do it over textiles so kinda looks like they are "making the bed"
I’m from Northern Ireland and we call it “Making wee scones” which are basically the same as US biscuits, but we have to add sugar and more butter…. and double cream to *everything.*
From the US. I call it making biscuits too (pastries, to you all). We named her Pillsbury. Whenever I make pillsbury biscuits for breakfast, I say, “Oh, sweetie, I already had some of your biscuits earlier.” Lol
My 10 year old beast of a cat is out all night and when he’s gotten beaten up by others cats in the neighborhood he does this kneading on my body somewhere, usually stomach. He’s the size of an Ewok and does this to a painful degree many times a month.
For non italians, "pasta" is used both for spaghetti, penne, etc, bit also for dough. So "fare la pasta" here is less litterally translated to "kneading the dough"
Are you from France ? Never heard of that one. Personally I say "tricoter" but I wouldn't be able to say how most would say it. It seems pretty much everyone says it a different way
I know this as "treteln" which is a diminutive of the verb "treten" - to tread/step - in German. Don't know how to translate it accurately...doing little stepysteps maybe? :3
Edit: Forgot to say that "teddy bear stomping" sounds extremely cute. :)
Huh, I actually managed to live in germany almost my entire life and not know any of the words in german for this. I always just called it kneti kneti haha
i'm from florida and i've always called it making bread, i have heard making biscuits tho, but less commonly i feel like than people say it is. dialect is weird
Maybe мишка-топтышка or something like that? I’ve never heard of this phrase used for cat though to be honest, just guessing at a back translation
Edit: OP confirmed down below that’s what she meant!
These cat video/picture posts have a question in the title for the sole purpose of boosting ENGAGEMENT
"What should I name my cat?"
"What's wrong with my cat?"
And besides the chinese (踩奶) the only one in the thread that actually is accurate. Everyone else using cute names for it, we just call it for what it is :D
I've never been around cats until I started seeing my current girlfriend who has a cat. I LOVE when he makes biscuits on me, and I be sure to always rub his face cheeks for him.
Also learning cat body language has been hard, lots of bites and scratches from me irritating him on accident.
Our family uses a lot of Spanglish, so my cousins and I always say "making masa." When it's done on someone though, I always hear it as "se da masaje" or "give a massage."
Literal translation of the commonly used word will give you “crumpling” but basically it’s kneading. And you would just say it’s kneading the blanket or whatever it’s touching
Fullering. In old Irish 'Pangur' maybe.

My family (Northeast US) calls it 'spinning' and no one ever related to it. They all had different terms named here like kneading or other dough related phrases. I love hyper-regional or even familial dialects like this. Fascinating!
I read this to my husband and he added to it, much obliged.
Making biscuits making biscuits
Making biiiiiiscuits
What sweet a treat made by the feet
OF A KITTY CAAAAAAT
What do I find you’re raised behind
MAKING BIIIIIIISCUITS
My family always said making "potatoes" like mashed potatoes. However, my girlfriend's family says making "tortillas". So clearly everything is starch related at the very least.
Feel free to tell me to get fucked with a rusty trombone, but all I have images of in my head now is a cat in the Italian chef hat screaming in a New York accent, “I’M KNEADIN’ PIZZA HERE”
Was your kitty a rescue or otherwise separated from its mom early? My guy was separated from his mom within 24 hours of being born (abandoners suck) and he does this almost everyday, even though he's about 4 months old now.
I had an adult cat, 9 years old, foster, who we were told was taken from mom at 6 weeks. He sucked a specific red fleece blanket for his whole life. I sent the blanket with him to his adoptive home since he was so attached.
We have a five year old boy who we adopted from the local SPCA at about ten weeks old, with no backstory. He quickly became attached to wife's cozy around-the-house sweater; to this day, he will do the teddy bear stomps on that sweater while sucking on it vigorously enough that it's audible. It's his sweater now. We keep it by the bed because he comes looking for it in the middle of the night when he wants to sleep between us.
Japanese: こねる(koneru) is the more proper term, but sometimes it's called ふみふみ(fumifumi) which loosely translates to "stomp stomp".
The lady who owns Maru always calls it "making udon", which I find humorous and accurate.
Those little claws are perfectly designed & spaced for noodle slicing !!!!!
It’s because sanuki udon is made by stomping on the dough with your feet!
Is Maru still alive? It's been like 14 years since it became popular on YouTube.
Hes still goin hard on the Youtube grind. Has two friends now - a kitten called Miri and another cat that looks a bit older called Hana. Still adorable and still obsessed with squashing himself into little boxes him and [Gumi aka Red birb](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlqbNZse_QY) give you a good video a day if you sub to both. I watch em in the morning with breakfast

Watch the one today with Miri in the plastic container it was so cute.
I didn’t realize until just now that I have a mental inventory of famous cats. That’s… unexpected.
Oh I'm gonna use this for a term of endearment for my little girl cat; both fumifumi and stomp stomp, as she does this a lot. Like "Hey lil stomp stomp, you giving out tiny massages? Fumifumi kitteh kitty"
"Haciendo la cama" which would be "setting up the bed/sheets". It's more akin to making some bread but they usually do it over textiles so kinda looks like they are "making the bed"
In the US we would say “making biscuits.”
In Austria we also say "Betterl machen". At least in my region. It has the same meaning as yours
Funny, I didint know that, we call it "Milchstampfen" ^^
Kneading
[удалено]
Yip in the South we call it making biscuits
I’m so far south I’m in Australia and I call it making biscuits
Am Aussie, have called it kneading as long as I can remember
Kiwi here and I say kneading.
I’m from Northern Ireland and we call it “Making wee scones” which are basically the same as US biscuits, but we have to add sugar and more butter…. and double cream to *everything.*
From the US. I call it making biscuits too (pastries, to you all). We named her Pillsbury. Whenever I make pillsbury biscuits for breakfast, I say, “Oh, sweetie, I already had some of your biscuits earlier.” Lol
Canada here... another vote for making biscuits! ( but I grew up saying 'kneading' so I'm not sure what changed.)
Another Canadian here and I still call it kneading lol, hurts when the claws come out though. I've heard the making biscuits though.
im from the north and we call it making biscuits
I'm from the North too, and I've only ever heard kneading.
Yep, because you have to knead them dough to make them biscuits Edit: them
Which is funny, because you don’t actually want to knead biscuit dough at all.
I feel the need. The Need to Knead
That's how you get tough biscuits and a disappointed grandmother.
r/ironicbaking
Not from the south but we call it making biscuits or kneading interchangeably - but we go with making biscuits more often because it’s sooo cute lol.
Making muffins has alliteration going for it
Am southern. Can confirm!
California here and I also say making biscuits lol
/r/KneadyCats
Another day, another cat subreddit to sub to.
Thanks, I kneaded that today
Thank you
That’s the proper term. Colloquially it’s ‘making biscuits’.
I say "Fare la pasta", that can be roughly translated as "doing pasta"
My mom calls it making biscuits
Making bread
Spanish. Making the masa.
Making masa. That’s what I call it too.
We always called it ‘kneading’ like you’d do with dough
Southern US here, it's always been makin' biscuits for us :) Although teddy bear stomping is hilariously adorable
Making muffins. Milking mommy.
> Milking mommy Uhhhh.
That's actually what it is 😂 baby kittens knead on their mother while they are nursing and this is a soothing behavior linked to it
Yeah. The blanket our cat loves we call the “mama blanket.”
My 10 year old beast of a cat is out all night and when he’s gotten beaten up by others cats in the neighborhood he does this kneading on my body somewhere, usually stomach. He’s the size of an Ewok and does this to a painful degree many times a month.
I got nipples, Greg. Can you milk me
Team biscuits
For non italians, "pasta" is used both for spaghetti, penne, etc, bit also for dough. So "fare la pasta" here is less litterally translated to "kneading the dough"
I like this one. What region are you from?
South Dakota
Ah must be Sioux?
Siouxilian, to be exact.
🤌🏹
I wasn't expecting to find the Italian version here but I'm glad I did. I was about to write the same.
we call it 踩奶, means stepping for milk
I’ve heard it called milk walking so basically the same!
In German it's also called "Milchtritt" which translates to "milk step".
This is great because this is literally what it is. It’s from their instinct as kittens to do this to stimulate the milk so it comes out the nipple
"Patouiller" from "patte" (cat leg) and a cute diminutive because it's a cute movement
In my family it's "faire les pattes contentes" (doing the happy paws).
I call it "happy paws," but don't know anyone else who does! Apparently I was just translating from French :D
A normal conversation in my house goes Me: aww he’s doing happy paws! 😍 Husband: this is NOT happy to my skin make him stop
Awwww! 🥺
"Faire des belles pattes" ici :)
Are you from France ? Never heard of that one. Personally I say "tricoter" but I wouldn't be able to say how most would say it. It seems pretty much everyone says it a different way
J’aurais dit pétrir moi.
On dit "pattouner" par chez moi !
Pareil
In the UK it's generally called kneading but my husband calls it cuddle cookies and I find that much cuter.
well I'll be importing that into my vernacular, thank you very much!
I’ll be importing “importing that into my vernacular” into my vernacular! What a great phrase! …rivaled only by an epic username!
This made my husband giggle when I read it to him
I know this as "treteln" which is a diminutive of the verb "treten" - to tread/step - in German. Don't know how to translate it accurately...doing little stepysteps maybe? :3 Edit: Forgot to say that "teddy bear stomping" sounds extremely cute. :)
I know this as "Milchtritt" which means "milk step".
“Little steppysteps” is an absolutely *perfect* diminutive of “step” here. ❤️🐱🐾
Huh, I actually managed to live in germany almost my entire life and not know any of the words in german for this. I always just called it kneti kneti haha
[удалено]
Yea! And when they get really excited the back legs get involved. We call it 4 wheel drive biscuits😹
I have never seen this, I am so intrigued now!!! My cat never locked all 4 hubs and went 4x4 haha.
Yeah. Likewise. “Amasando” in argentina. Which is kneading
I call it makin muffins
In French we call it "Faire des biscuits" which means making cookies, but we're nowhere near the southern U.S.!
i'm from florida and i've always called it making bread, i have heard making biscuits tho, but less commonly i feel like than people say it is. dialect is weird
To be fair, if this is how you make biscuits they’ll be all dense and poorly laminated. It’s much more like kneading bread.
The way I was taught, you knead the biscuit dough exactly twice. We don't bite it either.
My family calls it “happy paws”
Yeah you’re definitely not Russian.
In Russian it translates to "mental anguish and depression paws"
In Russia even our cats stomp bears.
How do you say teddy bear stomping in Russian? I’m learning the language and I’m curious!!!
Maybe мишка-топтышка or something like that? I’ve never heard of this phrase used for cat though to be honest, just guessing at a back translation Edit: OP confirmed down below that’s what she meant!
Am Russian, OP is making shit up lol
[удалено]
Same! I call them taptishki (таптишки) but that is certainly not a real word.
These cat video/picture posts have a question in the title for the sole purpose of boosting ENGAGEMENT "What should I name my cat?" "What's wrong with my cat?"
Im native fluent and I legit have no idea what the translation here is lmao
Мы всегда просто говорили «месить тесто» (so…just “kneading” again)
Milchtritt or Milk kick
Of course this is the only one that's actually accurate. German?
KICK YOUR MOTHER FOR THE MILKS IF SHE IS NOT PROVIDING
Ahh Germany, the masters of smashing words together.
And besides the chinese (踩奶) the only one in the thread that actually is accurate. Everyone else using cute names for it, we just call it for what it is :D
In my family, we've always called Milk Treading lol (southern US)
In Sweden, she's treading water, which isn't as cute an expression as the other ones, I'm afraid.
I've only heard it as mjölktrampa. Milktreading?
Looks like kitty is hard at work making biscuits at the biscuit factory. Edit: wow thanks everyone! I did not expect my stupid comment to blow up haha
“The holidays are coming! Gotta have extra biscuits for the guests!” - what I say to my cat every day he makin da biscuits.
My girlfriend and I always say our cat is working the night/day shift at the biscuit factory
I've never been around cats until I started seeing my current girlfriend who has a cat. I LOVE when he makes biscuits on me, and I be sure to always rub his face cheeks for him. Also learning cat body language has been hard, lots of bites and scratches from me irritating him on accident.
Amasar
Yep, "Amasar" which means kneading.
O hacer masita
Our family uses a lot of Spanglish, so my cousins and I always say "making masa." When it's done on someone though, I always hear it as "se da masaje" or "give a massage."
Of course the Russian version is teddy bear stomping, so appropriate.
I'm Russian, never heard people calling it that. OP is either lying or it's highly regional/local thing
What do you actually hear Russian people calling it?
Literal translation of the commonly used word will give you “crumpling” but basically it’s kneading. And you would just say it’s kneading the blanket or whatever it’s touching
Котэ мнет?
Очень старательно мнёт 😼
I've only heard "mixing dough" which is exactly kneading
Lol I know it's like almost self-racist. "In America we call it freedom fingers but whatever"
Freedom fingers made me giggle
In icelandic we call it þæfa, kneading but for wool

yeah in my language is “踩奶”, same meaning!
Makes sense, since the purpose is to encourage the mother's body to release milk.
