ok, i dont think this is a problem , more of a questioning question (if that makes sence).
ok we have a 7 month old cat - number 1, and a kitten just a little over 2 months old number 2. both females!!
now both cats get a long fine -which is great as sooty(#2) was adopted on the thought that hopefully honey would have a cat friend to keep her company, thus to cease the killer from trying to kill us humans in the house - she wasnt that bad but couls cause some nasty scratches and we have a young toddler so..
but the new kitten did the job, they play fight rather than honey trying that on us-
so now i am wondering if i should be worried about the kitten suckling from honey - she doesnt seem to mind - and when she does she has a hissy fit but that is very rare!, is a female cat that has never had kittens capable of producing milk to feed the kitten or is the kitten just comfort sucking?
and should i be stopping this or just letting them be?
thanks
Sarah
