We have adopted a kitten from a shelter. She was together with her mom and siblings, all in good health. When we brought her home, she was 12 weeks old, it’s been a week now. The kitten, Ellie, is nursing on herself when getting ready to sleep. She purrs and seems very happy and then the nursing starts. That SOUND!!!! it drives me nuts I know, I know, it’s all normal, and she should grow out of it naturally, but I had a cat who nursed on everything all her life. Is there a way to stop the habit? I am thinking, putting something that does not taste so well on the area she nurses... Something bitter? salty? what is safe for kitten?
