My kitten will turn 4 months old on November 29th and he still nurses!

He's the only little one my mama cat had, is that why?

Nah. It's normal for some cats. I found a pregnant stray once, she had 4 kittens. I kept the youngest and re-homed the others when they were 9-10 weeks old. They were still nursing when they left. The kitten I kept nursed for as long as the mama cat allowed him to. If I recall correctly, he was around 10 months old when she finally cut him off. He was twice her size....it was funny.

Mum will let the kitten know when she's had enough, and won't let him do it anymore. It's not uncommon at all, and unrelated to number of kittens.
