Here's another informative vocabulary lesson to build your FELINE LEXICON ...
From DaisyMae's Feline Dictionary of Terms and Phrases, the phrase of the day is:
MAKIN' INVISABISCUITS (verb) ... may kin in viz uh biss kitz ... A derivation of "makin' biscuits" when a feline kneads a stationary object using his/her front paws in a rhythmic manner simulating early kittenhood behavior with the sole purpose of stimulating milk dispersal from a lactating queen.
When a feline "makes invisabiscuits," s/he is recumbant and kneads the air while purring in a blissful manner.
Note: Invisabiscuits are not to be confused with the very foul and flatulent "air biscuits."
Sentence example:
1. When he's especially relaxed (or high on 'nip!), Sparky Fuzzypants likes to tempt Mom to pet him by makin' invisabiscuits and purring like a misfiring lawnmower.
Sparky Fuzzypants is the only one of the Feline Americans who makes invisa-biscuits on a regular basis. Mom sometimes calls him "Mister Biscuits" which sends him into orbit. He'll lay on his side with his front feet in the air an' he'll knead a whole pan full of invisa-biscuits just for Mom.

I did NOT know that about invisabiscuits-I asked my mom if I do that and she said that I rarely make biscuits she CAN see, much less invisible ones-she'd like a whole pan of 'em, too!
Mom calls them "happy feet" 'cause we do them when we're happy. :)
Awwww how sweet.
I bet he makes mommie really happy!
What a good kittyboy.
We hear invisabisquits have NO calories too!!!!! YUMMY!!!!
That is a very good term - we don't do that tho - We have missed your DMM's Dictionary time. We learned so many wonderful words that way.
Have a happy weekend.

Mom and Dad say that Clyde (one of the cats that came before us) did this too. Mom and Dad referred to it as "The Paw Thing". :-)
