HI!
We are fostering (possibly adopting) 2 female kittens. They were born (they think) around 4/8/02. My friend had been feeding their mom (a stray) and she finally brought the kittens to her when they were about 5 weeks old.
We've brought them home.THey are eating fine. THey are VERY shy and don't want to be picked up or held much---they comfort each other. One of them is continually "nursing" from the other--to the point that one kitty is always soaking wet from the other trying to nurse. As far as I know this is new since we brought them home as my friend didn't notice this.
Is this a problem? Normal behavior? THe one being nursed from doesn't seem to mind~~~but I want to find out why they are doing this..Does anyone have any advice??
Thanks!
