Has anyone ever heard of kittens sucking other kitten's toes? My newest kitten, Cheba, is sucking on the pads on the bottom of Farina's paw. And she is definately not cleaning it like we had originally thought.
It wouldn't bother me so much, but Farina sleeps right above my head on my pillow, and when Cheba is trying to fall asleep, she just walks over to him and begins sucking. Keep in mind that this is VERY loud at 2am. In fact, most times i have to seperate them because once i am awakened, i cant get back to sleep. I can tell she is enjoying it, because when i pick her up to seperate them she is purring like crazy. Farina doesn't seem to mind too much, but he sleeps like a log.
If she is trying to nurse, she's got the wrong body part for sure. Plus, Farina is a boy kitty.
let me know what you think, our vet is puzzled.
