Hi! I recently adopted a cat and I just want to know if this is something i should worry about. My cat Koala, kneads a blanket but then his butt trembles/shakes. Is that something to be concerned about?

He is just overly excited. This is a normal cat behavior. I wouldn't worry at all, my own cat does this when he gets excited about me being in the same room with him. Best wishes with your kitty Koala and enjoy every moment with your new companion. Take care!
