I haven't seen anything regarding this on the forum but maybe someone can help.
I have a 4 month old kitten that I've had about a month. He wants to sleep on the bed with me and my husband and we don't have a problem with that except that in the last couple of weeks, he must think I'm his momma. He will suck on my gown anywhere he can get to it and he is relentless with this (we figure he's trying to suckle). I have to put him out of the bedroom every night. He wasn't weaned too early since he was with his momma until he was at least 3 months old and she wasn't nursing him by then, plus he didn't start this behavior right away - just in the last couple of weeks. Thanks for any ideas -- I'm dumbfounded. We had a kitten years ago, but didn't have this problem.
