when murphy was a baby kitten he'd climb up me to hold him and i held him like a baby and he'd put both paws around my neck, one in the front, one in the back, and proceed to start sucking on my earlobe! lol...then he'd switch ears and do the other one. as he got older, he favored the left one. he'd still switch but only suck the right one for a second and then go back to the left. then eventually, he only sucked the left one. this went on for YEARS! my cousin told me it might be because he missed his cat-mommy so he was trying to nurse on my ear! i let him do it because i figured it wasn't hurting anything... even to this day, when i hold him, sometimes he'll do it but just for a few seconds.. not like before where he would do it for maybe 3-5 minutes!
was my cousin right? was he doing this to replace nursing? has anyone else experienced this or heard about it? just wondering, thanks
