Why Does My Cat Do This On My Leg At Night?

[synthia]

My 2 yr old male started doing this about a month ago. It’s very funny and I let him do it, just wondering WHAT and WHY exactly he is doing this.
He gently bites my feet as he is trying to get all 4s on my leg... he slips and slides but will keep doing for like 10 min. he even makes a deep breathing sound.
Anyone ran into this?
(Wouldn’t let me upload video ;(

He is probably kneading to some extent. Sounds like it. You comfort him like his mother. Sometimes they knead, sometimes they suckle, sometimes they nibble.
