I know. It's crazy. And, it's a little disgusting.
My kitten, aged three months, lost her mother at six weeks. She came home with me shortly after.
My cat, aged five years, has adapted tremendously well to having a kitten in the house! She is very tolerant of the kitten attacking her tail, sharing her food (remember that issue? kitten now will eat her own food, but still likes to share.), etc.
She stops the kitten from nursing but will let her SUCK ON HER TOE! (You know--that extra one?)
Okay. Ewww. I don't like listening to this. Whenever I'm home and it starts, I remove the kitten, and put her with her food bowl. She generally eats and is happy.
HOW do I get this behaviour to STOP?!??
Thanks!
