First of all, long time no see! 
So, my little weirdo, 6 months old kitten, Nala, has started sucking on my skin. It started when she figured out I have a skinflap under my arm. I’m doing my best to hide it from her, so now she’ll just suck on naked skin on the arm. I’m not even going to tell you the story about the time my brother came to stay with us and fell asleep with this top off.
Anyways, it seems like this has kind of become her form of cuddle. She doesn’t do it during the day, but at night, when I go to bed, she comes running. She’ll suck, grunt and purr, before falling asleep. It’s like it’s her night thing.
The problem is that it really hurts, because she is also kneading with her claws out. And it feels kind of.. wrong. I’ve tried to push her gently away - she get’s kind of «sad». I’ve tried giving her lot’s of love and cuddle, and at the same time pushing her away from my arm - she won’t have it, she’ll be back like a magnet. I’ve tried wearing sweaters to bed - she starts sucking on the sweater. I’ve tried wrapping myself into my duvet, like a human burrito - she’ll try to get under the duvet.
I’m kind of lost, to why she’s doing this and to how to make her stop. I got her at 12 weeks old, and she’s a happy, healthy kitten, outgoing and tough. Her sister Sorry doesn’t do anything like this, and looks at her like she’s crazy whenever she goes off. She started this when she was around 4-4,5 month, and it seems to be getting worse. She might try my brother, but other than that, it’s always me. She doesn’t do it to my hubby at all.
So, yeah.. help! Is my kitten crazy?
