another problem with cats

[BecksDaykin]

Why the hell cant they be normal!! DS and DD could hear a sucking noise. Found the cats snuggled up and Fifi (the little one) suckling off Holly (she's 6 months n not been in season yet)

What the bloody hell is going on..lol..one minute they hate each other and have hissy fits, the next she trying to get milk out of poor Holls

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated

I wouldn't worry, they won't do it for long as soon as they realise there is no milk they will stop. I would be greatful they are no longer fighting,

ER, not sure about the whole they'll stop once they realise no milk.

My cats do this except one is a boy and one is a girl. I got really worried about it, as really don't want kittens from bro and sis.

Anyway someone told me that they do it as a comfort thing, well my boy cat is 5 months old and has been doing it since they came home, I stop him as I worry about the girl getting an infection.

I wouldn't worry about it. Are you going to get her neutered?

my old cat of 10 years still likes to suckle on either her cuddle hedghog or the family dog if he will let her. it is a comfort thing when the cat is stressed or tired.

Thank you all for ur posts. Yes im having both done once they're old enough. Will just have to watch when holly goes into season that fifi dont carry on suckling otherwise she will start producing milk n she'll never stay away..lol. Thanks again x

The older one can be neutered now, best age is between 4 and 6 months.

my friend's cats do this all the time. Only issue is they are both male so don't think its always a milk thing!
