    My little 3 week old baby “Kit” sucks on my hands ALL of the time!!! Obviously he is still being bottle fed. He will suck on my finger so much drool will run down my hand!!!!

    Haha… a year after that first post, Lucy Belle is still kneading and suckle on her fleece blanket. I did try washing it once but she didn’t take it too well. So now, that dirty smelly blanket of hers is still lining her Sleepypod. Eeeeeewwww to me but yummy to her.

    Shino my baby princess kitten likes to suck on a blue fleece blanket we have, kneading and going to town on it! She seems at a calm state of mind when doing so. She eventually moved to my house-coat which is the same material.

    If I pick up shino and put her somewhere else while shes in the middle of her ritual, she scampers back to her spot and starts all over.

    It’s so cute!

    I first got my Silver when she was about 6 weeks old and she loved to nuzzle my neck and knead on my shoulder. Now at the ripe old age of 6 years she still has her evening nuzzle time. The only bad part about it is the kitty drool running down my neck and the claws.

    Oakcrone!!!!! My Maine Coon Boo does this exact thing. She shoves her face so hard into my neck so that she cant even breathe out of her nose which i think causes the drooling and if i dont properly secure my hair up she kneads right into the hair and into the pillow. Her claws can get so sharp I’m always worried I’m going to wake up with a new haircut

    I think my kitten kneaded for the first time tonight on a blanket, he also licked the blanket at the same time. I’m actually not sure if it was considered kneading because his claws were out. It probably lasted for about 15 seconds. Is this normal? I hope he is ok! I was just caught off guard because I’ve never seen him do this!

    Thunder does his loving on an old sheepskin rug. He’ll bliss out completely for 5 to 10 minutes, kneeding, drooling, and purring. If I move him in the slightest, he’ll move back and start over. Considering the traumatic beginning he’s had, I’m glad he can experience this measure of joy, contentment, and bliss. It is like a trance, no doubt about it. KatKat observes him doing that, and probably tsktsk’s to herself “why can’t he be more like me?” 🙂

    I just discovered a 3 1/2 week old kitten trapped in between some fencing in the nearby city. I took him home and have had him 3 days so far. He does the kneading and the purring thing too and usually when he does that I try to offer him his bottle, but on occasion he doesn’t take it and just curls up on my shoulder kneading and sucking till he passes out. I am glad I found this thread because I was worried I wasn’t feeding him correctly.

    Hi Friskitty, welcome to TDK Chat! Why don’t you start a new thread under “Introductions” and tell us some more about this gorgeous sounding kitten!

    I was about to ask if Lucy Belle got a new sister, until I noticed that this thread was started a year ago. 🙂

    My new kitten, Duncan (13 weeks), started sucking my hair last week. We adopted him when he was 8 weeks and he was weened properly and cared for very well.

    I’ve had several cats who have done this—curiously all male—and it seems in my case, it’s about bonding and feeling close.

    Yes, it gets annoying sometimes….but each of the cats in the past gave up this habit as they got older!

    Actually, I think I’ll miss the nuzzling and attention from Duncan if he ever decides to stop. I will certainly miss giggling about the sucking sounds he makes. My husband thinks the whole thing is a riot! Of course, no one is kneading sharp kitten nails into HIS neck!!!

    Our cat from years ago would do the same…memories of little Blackie-wackie…he also would pause with his tongue partially out!(pehaps to take a brake!)Crockey just kneads…he’s a good biscuit maker!

    My little Lucy’s a kneader and a suckler. Her favorite thing is to suck on my shirt when I’m lying in bed. She will sleep the whole night with my shirt in her mouth.

    But I don’t always want her kneading me all night (it’s hard to sleep!), so I’ve been able to teach her to accept a spare t-shirt or blanket to suckle as a replacement if I turn her away. Most of the time she looks so disappointed to not get the “real thing” however, that I have to acquiesce an let her suck on me.

    Lucy’s brother August is the most proud and dignified of cats (even at 6 months old) and will give her a look sometimes when she’s suckling that shows an utter lack of understanding of how she can be so undignified in her sucking behavior.

    It’s funny how different my two little littermates are. I love them both!

    Finnegan has a fleece blanket as well, and behaves exactly as you’ve described. He only does it right when it’s time for bed though, it’s like his way of winding down the day. What a strange quirk, it really is adorable.

    Sophie has my couch pillows. She needs these two pillows before she sleeps on them everytime. I am consider moving them near her bed and getting new ones..it really is rather cute. i can hear her purring from the other end of the couch 🙂
