What does the cat mean by stepping on milk?

The word "cat treads on milk" is not familiar to everyone. Maybe many people have owned cats and have seen these pictures, but they just don't know how to tell cats to step on milk. Then Bian Xiao will explain.

There are two explanations for the cat stepping on milk. The first is a more folk saying. It means that when a cat grows up and leaves its mother, it will find a soft place to stand on the ground with two front feet. This is called stepping on milk. The main reason for this situation is that when a kitten suckles, its two claws will hold its mother's breast to help it secrete milk, so that it can better suckle. Sucking alone is not enough. Cats usually show a satisfied and intoxicated expression when stepping on milk.

Another more scientific explanation is that kittens have an instinct to increase breast milk secretion in infancy. When the kitten grows up, this instinct is hidden. But when it encounters a similar scene, this instinct is activated again, but it has no practical significance. It can be said that it has nothing to do with "missing mother". Many kittens and cats will step on the mother cat when they grow up together.

It is very pleasant for a cat to step on milk. Parents should also observe her nails regularly. If you step on it improperly, it is easy to scratch the mother cat's stomach. Don't ignore her nails.
