Kneading is the slow, serious paw-press cats do on a blanket, a lap, or a person who was trying to read. Owners call it making biscuits. The cat calls it correct. She is not sharpening knives for sport, and she is not copying a dog who digs the bed, though the family resemblance fools people.

Dogs do see color, just not the same range humans do. Their world is mainly blue, yellow, and shades between grey and brown. Red and green are difficult to distinguish, which means the bright red ball that looks obvious to you may blend almost perfectly into a lawn.
Color is only one part of canine vision. Dogs trade some fine detail and color range for better low-light vision and sensitivity to movement—useful abilities for an animal shaped by hunting and scavenging.
