As most of you probably read, I got my girl a week ago...at the age of 8 weeks. Yes, I know that was entirely too early. It was not planned that way in the beginning, either. But, the "breeder" took them to the vet and decided they were ready to go...so I took her.
So far, so good. One of the main things I see being a "problem" is that she has tried to nurse on my male cat a couple times. And also on a really soft and furry blanket I have. Does anyone know of a way I can deter her from doing this??
I kinda disagree with Paige on this one- kinda. The nursing off of the male, no issue- but if you can break her from nursing off of blankets, it is safer. Sometimes, cats/kittens can choose to nurse off of a fabric and they end up ingesting it and causing a blockage.
So... At least keep an eye on the blankies she is nursing off of. Wool is one of the worse materials for a cat to get a hold of and do this too- can't remember why, but I'm positive of it.
