I like the term “making biscuits” better than “kneading” or “kneading biscuits”. Butter biscuits (and scones) usually require handwork to integrate the butter into the dry ingredients. In my experience, this handwork pretty closely resembles what the cats are doing. There’s a lot of squeezing going on to break up the cold butter and mix it in.

I think of it more as a pinching motion to divide the big clumps of fat into smaller ones while coating them in flour. I'm still not convinced that cats know how to make biscuits :-)
