seriously..
Elliott is 3 months old.
She was given to me when she was 7 weeks old.
I've read how kittens "make bread" because it's like when they were nursing.
I've also read how some kittens do it if they were taken from their mommies too early...
it's very cute..
HOWEVER...
Elliott tries to suck on my upper lip. I mean she gets a good grip, closes her eyes, purrs, makes bread on my face and just sucks.
I know it sounds adorable, and it really is...but it's gross.
I don't let her do it, but she sneak attacks me in the middle of the night when I'm asleep. I wake up and she's sucking on the middle of my upper lip.
When I make her stop, she gets upset. She meows and tries to uncover my face.
After she gives up, she goes to find my other cat Amelia (10 months) and curls up with her and starts sucking on one of her front paws.
She puts up with it for like 3 minutes and then runs off.
(she's a moody teenager tho)
Anyway, when she wants to nurse, she will jump up on me and start meowing and is already purring and will just fight me to get attached to my lip.
I read about OCD too..and she loves to eat.
She gets NUTS when she thinks she is going to get food.
What is going on here?
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
