There is definately one (fake kitty) that has a nipple - I think it can take a bottle actually.Originally Posted by SarahBeez
As weird as it is- WE NEED ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Skunk STILL has not stopped trying to nurse off of the other boys 'parts'It's getting to the point that I am willing to try anything! A while back someone gave me a link to a stuffed animal that warms up & has a heart beat but I don't think it would help him because it doesn't have a nipple (that I can see!). I really think he's attracted to Maui & Beans you-know-what because of the shape!
That isn't the one that I was talking about- although very similar! So you say this one DOES have a fake nipple???? I think that will solve our problemOriginally Posted by Satai

Editted to add the link to it: It's called snuggle kitty and does have a place for a bottle, as well as the warmth and heart beat thing. Kitten Rescue recommends it.

Depends on your needs, I guess. This goes not have a "full set" - just a place to put a feeding bottle for a kitten. It's possible the nipple is all he's interested in, you never know.Originally Posted by SarahBeez

So which should I get??? The pillow or the fake kitty?!
Probably the fake kitty since it has a heartbeat & can be warmed.... although I worry about how obvious the fake nipple is and I hope it has a full set so it's more realistic (never thought I'd hear myself say that!)
If anyone has a vote I'd love to hear it! I'll do some more reading on both!
What do you recommend since it only uses a bottle nipple? I don't think he'll be interested in it at all- although I haven't tried that yet. I think the closer looking to the nipple the better, in his case. I'm just leery on spending $30 when he'll just turn his nose up at it like everything else.... at least the pillow has the closest thing I've seen to the nipple...Originally Posted by StarryEyedTiGeR
I would not recommend allowing a kitty to have any plastic product such as that without direct supervision. The snuggle kitty though, when used responsibly, is an excellent product.
Honestly, for a kitty with a strong suckling urge- I would see what your vet recommends- I wouldn't give them anything with plastic (such as those nipples) because once again those are definitely a choking hazard. If you give him/her fleecy blankets unsupervised, they could also chew on the fabric and that could cause GI blockages too, so I would see what your vet recommends as far as that goes. I wouldn't give him anything without checking with a vet first.Originally Posted by SarahBeez

Sorry to hijack this thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This has been an ongoing problem in our house & I've asked for advice several times but haven't really had much luck!
My vet just keeps recommending stuffed animals- but he has absolutely no interest in them at allOriginally Posted by StarryEyedTiGeR
