I can't decide if I find this behavior really weird or somewhat cute.Fate led me to a kitten roughly 2 weeks ago at the local HS - little female already named Winnie. Took it as a sign and brought her home. So glad I did because she's buckets of entertainment.She and Allen are getting on so well, I can't believe my luck. Winnie has total big brother worship and loves Allen, and he tolerates her wonderfully. I've been keeping her locked in the guest room when I am not at home to supervise, but yesterday I took the plunge and left her out with Allen while at work. Came back and both were peachy keen, just howling to be fed Decided to let her out overnight to sleep with me and Allen, in my bed, if she chose to. She did, but I saw overnight that she was 'nursing' on Allen. At his midsection, kneading with her paws, and actually sucking his skin/fur into her mouth. The sucking was very loud as it woke me up a few times. Winnie was purring happily as she did this, and I would move her off him only to have her immediately go back and keep at it.Allen, bless my big sweet boy, didn't seem to care at all. I left them alone figuring that if he was irritated, he'd shake her off.So, like I said, I'm half "That's super weird" and half "Aw, cutie patooties." Is this just kitten comfort behavior?
