    Kittens dry nursing!
    :confused:
    I adopted two kittens. They are now about 9 weeks old and they keep sucking on my clothes! It's a little weird and I don't want them to do that to any guests. My friend said that its comforting to them and I should let them do it until they become acclimated and then wean them. But I also heard that it's a habit and they'll never stop. Aaaugh! Help!

    Its no big deal, I have a cat her name is Peek-A-Boo when I brought her home she did the same thing. The vet said she should grow out of it and usually occurs in kittens that are weaned to soon. Well Peek-A-Boo is now 8 years old and still sucks her tail every night as she goes to bed with my husband and I.
