The kneading is an instinctive response of kittens when they are nursing from their mother. It helps her let down her milk and make it available to them.
Many cats continue to do this kneading or "making bread" all their lives when they are content and enjoying interaction with you.

Yes, that is called kneading. It means that they are happy. Kittens knead against their mother to nurse so they repeat this behavior when they are happy. My cat used to lie on my chest and knead me, LOL.

They are kneading, getting themselves into their "zone". They do this to comfort themselves, remembering when they did this on their mom when they were feeding. It's a compliment, really, that they are comfy and happy.

Yes, it recreates the "milk tread" kittens use during nursing to stimulate milk flow from their mommy.
