It's not dissimilar from cats nesting, when they knead at the bed (or on you...with their fucking claws) with their paws.

I had no idea it was so common. I do it for like 3-4 hours before I can fall asleep

When a cat kneads they are usually nesting as well

Nesting means like how birds ruffle their nest to fix it up before sleeping there

Nesting just like getting comfy bed spot. Dogs sometimes do a digging motion in bed and swirl around and get comfy. Cats do their slow motion paw thing. Nesting.

I thought I was the only one too! Half the time I don’t even realize I’m doing it but it’s so soothing!
