Boy was I surprised this morning! Ava, 14 weeks, was suckling on Kato, my 2.5yrs neutered boy. What a patient and gentle boy he is! He was thoroughly grooming her while she purred away like a truck, her head deep in his belly and even kneeding with her paws!
I guess they have bonded beautifully! Ava only arrived 2 weeks ago. The first few days I worked like crazy to keep both entertained and exercised and loved, while being in separate rooms. And then Kato stopped being alarmed, and Ava insisted on coming out and went and nose kissed him...today they're sleeping together (sometimes - Kato has been sick and needs some space), and Ava pulls this nursing stunt!
Anyone have experience of a kitten nursing on another cat (not their mum)? Is there anything to be concerned about?
