I had the best kitten introduction ever I think! 9 month old Poppy and 3 month old Milo settled in brilliantly together when I introduced Milo 3 weeks ago.
Poppy has always slept on my bed. She knows when the light goes off, she has something to eat then comes to bed and sleeps. She's up early but hey, can't win everything.
Milo has also gotten into the same habit. HOWEVER for the last 11-12 days he has been coming up the bed to suckle the duvet, usually around my neck. This is accompanied by very loud purring. It goes on for what seems like hours. This morning it started at 3am and I basically didn't sleep after. As soon as he settled, Poppy woke up and wanted attention.
My question is: how can I break the suckling thing? I think he was weaned too early. I've tried putting him back down the bottom of the bed where he sleeps but he just comes back up again. I don't want to put him outside the bedroom as to me that's cruel, as Poppy and I are in the bedroom and he doesn't know any different.
Thank you
