About
Overworked Cats Making Biscuits refers to a series of TikTok videos joking that cats kneading blankets and other soft objects, colloquially known as "making biscuits," are employees of a biscuit-making factory and are gravely overworked, leading their owners to jokingly plead with viewers to stop "ordering biscuits."
Origin
Cats are known to rub their paws on or "knead" soft objects when they are happy. This is colloquially known as "making biscuits" among cat owners.[1]
On November 25th, 2022, TikTok[2] user @kunzaiiii posted a sped-up video of their cat kneading a blanket, captioning the video with a plea to viewers to stop "ordering biscuits," as the cat is very overworked. The video gained over 2.4 million likes in six weeks (shown below).
