Hello there,
If you happen to be a regular forum crawler, you might remember me as the guy in China who found four kittens on the patio and decided to raise them for fun. Well, that was three months or so ago and now they are quite large and still very much around. Not quite housecats, our four are still quite domesticated in the sense that that they come straight to us for their meals and always roam around our patio and sleep in the sheltered cage we gave them.
Anyhow, the main reason that I am posting this is because I've noticed some odd behaviour going on between the four. Two of the kittens are slightly larger and more aggressive and have developed this strange habit of lying on the other two and sucking or licking the backside of their ears. What this has resulted in is the two smaller ones have large yellow spots behind their ears, and the fur is all matted together. Will this have negative effects in the long term? Is this because they miss the bottle we used to feed them with? (We stopped bottle feeding them about 6 weeks ago after they developed the habit of biting straight through the plastic nipple).
Thanks for any suggestions or advice you guys might have~
