Throughout the video, Pepe repeatedly closes his eyes, and his expression is one of deep satisfaction. One viewer described it as, "Face of pure bliss!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Sweet angel." Another person commented, "He definitely found his happy place 🥰🥰." Netizens fell in love with the happy kitty, describing him as a "cutie patootie" and admiring his "squishy" face. Several people also commented on his cute pink nose with a freckle on the end of it. One declared, "I NEED to boop the nose dot 😭," and another pronounced, "Imma boop that snoot."
Why do cats knead when they feel happy?
Why cats knead is a question that puzzles some folks. While nursing, kittens knead their mothers to encourage milk to flow. Some kittens stop kneading once they reach adulthood, but many cats continue doing this soothing behavior their entire lives.
The action may remind them of how calm, content, and relaxed they felt when safe with their mother. This instinctual behavior may relieve tension, allowing cats to stretch out their legs and paws, and it may be used to mark territory using the scent glands in their paws. The repetitive movement mimics the action that wild cats have been observed doing, kneading grass or leaves to prepare a cozy sleeping spot. One netizen noted about the video of Pepe, "Mmm the sweetest of biscuits were made during this cuddle!!🥰"
