i rescued a kitten at 3-4wks of age. apparently her mother died since
she was an outdoor cat. i posted earlier about her liking to bite.
...it's starting to hurt...

anyway...i bottle-fed her for a month... until she started ripping
through every nipple i gave her. she seemed to want more milk inside of
her than she could consume through a bottle.

she's 9wks now and is perfect (- the biting). one thing that concerns
me is that i always wake up to her sucking the blankets that are close
to my body. the blanket is wet to the touch in many areas she has
attempted to get milk out of. this makes me so sad i want to cry. poor
thing. i just hold her and give her lots of love until one of us falls
asleep again.

is there anything else i could do?

...what about giving her a bottle when she does this...
...or is she too old for this?...

I wouldn't worry about it. It probably is because she's been weaned too
early. We've got two cats, a brother and sister. The sister (Izzy) was
weaned at 10 weeks and the brother (Toby) at 7-8 weeks (log story). Toby
used to suckle on Izzy for a while until she got annoyed with it, then he
started on himself! They're 2 years old now and we still catch him sucking
himself (stop laughing at the back). Izzy grew out of it at about 12
weeks. I think it's just a comfort thing, like sucking your thumb.
