I'm not quite sure why, and I've had a bunch of cats before this one but for some odd reason whenever I am wearing a white shirt my cat will try and jump on my stomach and start kneading me (like bread) start purring and biting me. He only does this to me, does he think I'm a female cat or something?

Was his mother white? Otherwise, he is doing this because he really likes you. Cats knead as a reminder of kittenhood, that is how they got the milk to flow. So this behavior is a reminder of an earlier happy time in their life, and a compliment to you. The biting is either treating you like family, or a result of overstimulation, He is just too happy to stand it!

My cat does this all the time. Cats do this to their mother. If they miss their mother, they will do this to whoever they like the most. It's a compliment.
My cat usually kneeds for about five minutes, then lays down and falls asleep. I don't mind, unless it's 5 in the morning!

Cats do this as affection. My cat does it when she wants to lay down on me. She does it for a little while and then lays down. I don't know what's up with the white shirt, but maybe he just likes the fabric.

I have no idea why cats fo this but Ive had cats that do the same thing so its not unusual. I think its just a sign of affection showing that the cat likes you.

This means kitty loves you very much. Kneading is how kittens got milk from mama, maybe mama had a white belly and your shirts reminds kitty of this.
Kittens do this all trhough cathood... just a relfex saying they are happy and loving. Pet her and speak sweetly, and let her enjoy her reverie.

Kitty seem to like you. You must have found the perfect match for a pet. Lucky you! My cat was comfortable only on my husband at night when he was sleeping on his stomach. My cat would lay on his back and sleep on top of him. It was too cute!

Your cat is kneading(dough) you are the ALFA cat, when your cat was a very young kitten this is how they knead their mother cat for milk. also a way of expressing love. I dont think it is the color of your shirt. my cats allways do this on soft items.

they all have their funny little habits. I have white persian cat once that couldn't resist anyone in a dark suit, we ran a business from, as you can imagine he wasn't very popular with the sales reps. He probably just loves you and wants you to know.

It's his way of showing affection. In other words, your cat really loves you!

One of our cats does this to my husband. When I asked our vet about it I was told, "The cat loves your husband and is showing her affection and marking your husband as her own and JUST TO ANNOY YOU!"
