Hello everyone;
My one cat has a wierd behaviour that he has had for ages. I really doesn't bother me and it's probably ingrained by now but I'm curious to know the reasoning. Two of my cats are brothers,one long hair one shorthair, both brought home from the litter at 8 weeks. They are now three years old. One day the long hair discovered that sneaking in under the covers and cuddling up to me was really cool. Then I heard this really weird sound and saw this cat suckling his tummy. He only does this under the covers. It's now an ingrained routine, wait for mom to climb into bed, hop on bed, climb under duvet,curl by my stomach and suckle..if I'm late to go to bed he will howl around me till I get a move on. I let him suckle for about a minute then stop him, he stays a while and then leaves . His brother has never dispalyed this behaviour. Should I be actively discouraging this??
