Help! Cat tries to suckle on me!!!
Hi,
I have a young neutered male cat, and every night he tries to suckle on his sister or me. He'll go for my hand, ear, or neck, but I imagine any body part will do. I'll push him off, toss him off, push his face away, but to no avail, he comes back. After a long struggle, he'll give up. I tried shoving a pacifier in his mouth but he wouldn't take it. I tried faking him out with a stuffed cat doll, but no dice. What can I do? Thanks. |

I work with a rescue group and we find this common with kittens seperated
from their mothers very young (less than 6 weeks). I have one who did the same thing till about 6-7 months old. -- Joe http://www.jwpitt.com/cats.htm Cat Rescue http://www.animalrescuefoundation.com God created the cat so man could have the pleasure of petting the tiger wrote in message om...
