(First time cat owner)
My kitten is now about 3 months old. I first got him when he was 4 weeks old and very ill. About a month ago he started suckling and kneading blankets, clothes, etc anytime he gets sleepy. I’m sure being away from his mom at such a young age is where the behavior stems from, but it’s also a new behavior, not something he’s always done since we got him. Should I be worried about this? Could something have triggered the new habit?
