Adult Cat Nursing on a Male Cat

RE: Adult Cat Nursing on a Male Cat By Lynn (750) Contact Years ago I had two very young kittens and the female did that to the male for a long time. Eventually she lost the habit on her own. God I miss those two! Posted on 05/21/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Adult Cat Nursing on a Male Cat By Jennifer (Guest Post) The younger cat looks to the older male cat as her mother. Evidenly he feels the same way since he grooms her. It's wonderful that they have such a close loving relationship. Enjoy them!

I'm thinking that the part about being weaned too early is a good theory. The funny thing though is there is no relation my brother just brought her home and my male cat has taken to her like that for the past year.

It eventually stopped on its own.

I doubt that he would hurt her even then, as cats can sound mean and get their point across. I agree, it just sounds sweet to me. My cat does the same thing with a flannel blanket.

I've had cats who were weaned too early, and they will usually pick out something to nurse on. Normally, it's an inanimate object like a fuzzy bed or your fuzzy house slipper. But I think it's sweet that your male cat is "nursing" his little sister. Posted on 05/20/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Adult Cat Nursing on a Male Cat By Glenn'sMom (933) Profile Blog! Contact She's not hurting anything by doing this. One theory is that she was weaned too early. They take comfort in doing this. Some people want to stop it because it's embarrassing for THEM but the cats enjoy it. Posted on 05/20/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse
