My kitten keeps sucking my ears
I have just acquired two cats thru my daughters, one male, one female.
The female Pretzel I can handle as she is only my friend when I feed her: however, Squeaky, the male, seems to have some fascination in climbing onto my shoulders and sucking my ear lobes- is this some sort of behaviour that means I am lacking something in his diet, or do I have a "gaycat"? |

Oh NO! Squeaky is an Alternative Lifestyle Cat! Kidding. Some cats just to this. My cat Timmy did it to me when I was a teenager. I thought it was cute. My sister's two kittens both do it to anyone's hand that will hold still long enough. Some say it is because they were not properly weaned (of course I have heard the same about human males with a large mammary gland fixation). Some cats suck their tails or the tails of other cats. (Go to rec.pets.cats.anecdotes and see the "Beautiful doll baby for adoption" thread.) Does it bother you? If so you could just put him down when he starts it. But be on the lookout-- my bet is he will be sucking on something else at some point. I think it must just comfort them. It never bothered me when Timmy did it. Of course, with the loser I was dating then, that was probably the only foreplay I got. |

How old? Some cats just keep this habit from being a baby. It is a comfort thing. Nothing more or less. |
