I adopted my kitten when he was about 8-10 days old. After feeding him, he would fall asleep sucking his blanket. Sometimes, he sucked my hand or my fingers. I didn't know at the time that this behaviour was called "wool sucking", I assumed it was normal since he'd have spent a longer time sucking his mother's tit at that age. The fact is, he continued this behaviour long after being a baby kitten. When I was, having a siesta or asleep in my bed, he would climb on my breast and suck my neck, and sometimes my husband's neck. Fortunately, as he got heavier, he spent less and less time doing it.
He is seven months old now and still does it. Just for five or ten minutes and normally at dawn, afterwards he finds himself a warm place on the bed. It goes without saying that I like it, and I consent it, and so does my husband. Do you think it is a bad thing? Well, it's not a good thing, I know, but can it have a negative effect on him? Should we discourage him from "wool sucking" our necks?
