7. Dealing with Kneading on Your Lap

A soft barrier such as a thick blanket shields the owner's lap from the cat's claws. Kneading can be halted by turning the cat over gently and petting his belly.

Trimming the cat's claws tried regularly can decrease discomfort during kneading. Nail guards can help as well, although many cats refuse to wear them. The fight to apply nail guards may cause more injuries and stress to the cat and owner than the kneading could in the first place.
