It is called kneading and it is when a cat extends and retracts its claws, usually when on owner's lap. It comes from kittenhood, kittens knead their mother while suckling to make the milk flow more freely. Adult cats will do this when they feel safe or contented. They see their owners as mothers and, as pampered pets, will have some kitten characteristics through adult life. If the cat dribbles or sucks owner's clothes it means that was probably taken from its mother to early and never had a chance to grow out of its behaviour naturally. These behaviours are usually for life!
