Kitten Trying to Nurse on Older Cat

RE: Kitten Trying to Nurse on Older Cat By Lynn (753) Contact Don't worry about it, it is perfectly natural. The kitten will stop on her own as she outgrows the desire to nurse.

Is your kitten still of nursing age? Is the older cat a female, and giving milk, or just irritated? The "normal" reason for kittens to try to nurse from other cats, and nearly anything they can get their mouth around, is that they were taken away from the mother, or orphaned, before they were ready. It seems dogs can be weaned just fine at 6 weeks, for the most part, but kittens seem to take a bit longer. Usually, with patience, they will grow out of it, but the need seems to be there for comfort, as it is with all little creatures. Try giving it, after it eats, a play toy that it can be distracted with. Hope all works well.

Why try to stop it. The older cat will or the kitten will stop in time. Posted on 11/04/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Kitten Trying to Nurse on Older Cat By Robyn Fed (444) Profile Blog!

Contact Give her some of the following: 1/2 Cup Evaporated Milk 1 Tbsp. real mayonaise 2 tsp. karo syrup white 2 drops infant vitamins Mix this up and feed it to the kitten. I have raised many kittens on this formula. It is easy on their stomach. Racer Posted on 11/04/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse
