ive heard of cats suckling and kneading blankets and stuffed animals before but my new kitty loves latching onto me or my hubby to suckle. he will either go for a finger or the nose, sometime he even wakes us up doing this! of course its too cute and there's no way i can yell at him but has anyone ever had this???

I've heard of it before :D It's a cat's way of comforting itself, kind of like de-stressing themselves. It reminds them of being with mom cat. Some people say it happens when they are taken away from their mother to young. I don't know how true that is. ;)

It sounds like with your boy it's turned into a bit of a habit now though :lol3:

oh yeah...he's definitely made it a habit but i don't mind...hes too cute to refuse! i had a cat before that would suckle and knead soft stuffed animals his entire life. maybe i can get my kitty to switch when he gets a little older
