A cat might shake it's body if it is cold, wet, tired (possibly a way of waking themselves up a bit), or if it has an itch that it can't be bothered to scratch properly! A good shake also airates their fur, which helps to keep it clean & prevents it from matting. That is not to say pick your cat up and shake it every so often... the cat won't thank you for that! Elderly cats, or cats that have suffered a head injury at some point should be watched more carefully, especially if the shaking seems involuntary. It could be a sign of a stroke or a brain heamorage.

What does it mean when a cat is practicing making biscuits?
When they're kittens, they push their paws against their mother's belly to get the milk flowing. They basically knead their mother's belly like it's bread dough. Most cats continue to do this kneading -- they'll knead blankets, people, etc. -- for the rest of their lives. Even very old cats do it. Apparently it is some kind of regression behavior. So, when a cat is practicing making biscuits, I guess it means the cat is thinking about his/her mommy.
