why does my cat like to suck on my neck2007-11-25 12:32:09

i no this sounds silly but i have 3 kittens and are 7 mnths old now, one couple of weeks after i bought him home likes to nuzzle into my neck and start to suck, i keep moving him but he goes straight back there and even now at 7 mnths at night he'll do it in the middle of the night, what does this mean? should i be worried?

Answers:

My kitten does the same thing , your kittens does that cause they might have been taken from their mother early , you shouldn't be worried , I guess they weren't ready to be ready to be away from the mother , they do it for comfort . they do it when thier scared or stress . And it's like they trust you , you should be happy , they think you are thier parent's now , and it's also a bonding thing they share with who they trust , some grow out of it when they get older , some dont . But when my kitten does this to me , I dont mind , I'm like his mom and he thinks I'am his mom. So enjoy your kittens , and be happy that they trust and love you , they are a joy to have.

Hi

Dead easy answer your cat is licking the salt from your neck

---

no don't be worried. they're babies and looking for a place they feel safe. may also be attracted to the taste of your skin.

My cats do that too. Ive had them from birth and I bottle fed them, they think Im mommy. As does yours. Its a sighn of affection, your cat loves you!!

Some cats will exhibit vampire-like characteristics. Try stringing garlic onto a string and wearing it around your neck and/or wearing a cross. Don't worry about the kitty-- he won't hurt you.

He thinks your "mom" and you are a source of security for him. Actually that's very cute but I can see where it would get old. Our cats try to "accidently on purpose " wake us to play. We have 6.

Goodness knows what it means, but cats lick their own backsides, so your neck is probably covered with minute traces of cat faeces.
