First, I don't know if this falls in the cat behavior forum... Since she is a very young kitten, I thought I would post here.
So, we got a.. sort of surprise kitten. She fell in our backyard from a wall, we have a dog and an older cat so we couldn't let her there or she would possibly get killed. So we decided to adopt her.
From what the vets told us the next day, she was 2 months old at the time, definitely too young to be separated from her mother, she is now around 3 months old.
She is the sweetest little gal, but me and my father noticed that she wouldn't stop 'nursing' and kneading on our clothes, after some research I found out that it is most likely a separation anxiety symptom, because she was separated too early from her mother.
I looked everywhere for a cat that looks like her the first days I had her, (she's a colorpoint/siamese.) So she could possibly return to her mother, but i had no luck, and i gave up the search by now.
I really don't want her to suffer and I give her as much attention as possible when she does this, but I really don't know what to do, how can I fix this problem? She does not lack love and attention in this house, we have an older male cat that she plays with a lot, and a Maltese dog she also likes to play with, so she's never alone. Is there anything I can do?
