And when he tries to do this when I'm engorged, he's gonna get swatted a LOT. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cat-suckling#post-511903 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:37:21 +0000 Bao 511903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: aww that's kind of cute:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cat-suckling#post-511898 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:36:53 +0000 Bao 511898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: our cat has a "blankie" too, it's the only thing she suckles, which is nice.

That's the only time he would do it! While I was wearing it. It was really weird and annoying, but then became kind of endearing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cat-suckling#post-511885 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:35:22 +0000 rachiecakes 511885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: my mom has a cat that does this! kitty has a 'blankie' hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cat-suckling#post-511884 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:35:13 +0000 ladyfingers 511884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our cat is 12 and he still kneads. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cat-suckling#post-511882 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:34:00 +0000 Bao 511882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: lol that's funny, was it when you were wearing the shirt ever? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cat-suckling#post-511876 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:32:14 +0000 allison 511876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to have a cat that did this. He would suckle any fabric, but loved shirts. I'd have wet spots on my tshirt from it, and I always thought it was really weird. I've had cats all my life, and he was the only one that did it. I'd say it's unusual but not (obviously) unheard of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cat-suckling#post-511852 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:28:14 +0000 Bao 511852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: makes sense :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cat-suckling#post-511839 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:25:42 +0000 mrskc 511839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: My guess is it's a comfort thing like babies sucking their thumb. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cat-suckling#post-511835 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:24:48 +0000 prettylizy 511835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never seen this, but I can imagine animals need their comfort stuff too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cat-suckling#post-511812 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:20:17 +0000 JerricaBenton 511812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dogs do it too sometimes. I have heard it can be from being taken away from their mama early, but I've also heard it's just a comfort thing. It's pretty cute, I think! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cat-suckling#post-511803 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:19:16 +0000 Bao 511803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: haha!! Funny :)<br /> @mrskc: oh good, lol I was hoping my cat didn't have some weird problem. Do you know what causes them to do it? A comfort thing like babies? Being taken from their momma too early? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cat-suckling#post-511788 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:16:21 +0000 mrskc 511788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had two cats that did this. One alway suckled on my blanket and the other suckled on her own fur. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cat-suckling#post-511776 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:13:51 +0000 chopsuey 511776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>weird!<br /> I don't have a cat, but "cat suckling" made me think about "Meet the Parents." When Ben Stiller talks about milking the cat and being able to milk anything with nipples.<br /> HA. Random! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cat-suckling#post-511762 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:11:02 +0000 Bao 511762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cat is almost 3 years old and she still suckles and kneads one particular blanket every night and again in the morning...I'm wondering how normal this is? And why she does it.... </p>
