They knead your legs
If your cat gives your leg a mini massage or it looks like it is making cookies it means that it kneads. Kneading is also common in newborn kittens and you will see this when they squeeze their mother for more milk.
Well, if your adult cat kneads your legs then it means that it tries to say ‘I love you, human!’ Even though there are a lot of stereotypes about cats, it does not mean that they are true, because they have a lot of things to say to us, such as “I really like you” or ‘I feel comfortable around you’.
According to PetMD, “If your cat is curled up and kneading your lap while you’re petting him, he’s returning the affection and telling you he loves you right back. Unfortunately, this can be quite painful, since the happier he is, the harder he’ll dig in with his sharp claws.” You can ease the painful part by “placing a thick, soft barrier between the cat and your lap.”
“This behavior has a habit of sticking around as a source of comfort and relaxation, and it may even be a sign of affection and bonding with you. A cat may exhibit this behavior because it sees you as its mother, authority figure or it’s the cat’s way of saying, ‘I trust you,'” said pet behavior researcher, Gayle Hickman.

My cat killed a snake in my yard and brought it
home and ceremoniously laid it on my patio. I
was not happy about this as the snake was around 2 feet long. ..and the cat was not happy
as I got the snow shovel with the longest handle
and moved the snake to where I would not have
to look at it any more. He also brought home a
dead squirrel that looked like it’d been thru a
blender. My cat can also be very gentle and
comes to my bed at night (hopefully without
it’s latest victim).
