My two kittens that we've adopted have been fine for their first two weeks of being at home and then Angel, the girl, who's about 8-9 weeks old now, started to show signs of missing her mom by kneading and sucking on her own belly. (Now she does it whenever I pet her.) And now Tiger, the boy, who's about 10-11 weeks old now, is starting to do the same but sucks/bites my fingers instead. They mew like they would for their mom at me all the time, including in the middle of the night. This has been going on for about a week...
So here are my questions. They were eating kitten chow when my husband and I got them but if they're doing this, should I get the kitten formula or at least the nipple thing for them? Or would that be bad and discourage them from eating the solids? If I shouldn't do anything, then how can I comfort them so they would stop? They already see me as their mom.
