Hey everyone!
I have a question about trying to discourage suckling behavior in my 7.5 week old kitten, Luna. I understand kittens display this behavior when they've been taken from mom too early (she was 6 weeks old when we "adopted" her from a lady giving kittens away in the Walmart parking lot). I don't want her to bite off some fabric from the carpet and obstruct her intestinal tract, the thought terrifies me
. I don't want to punish her as I prefer positive reinforcement however if that's the only way, I'm willing to go that route to ensure her health and safety.
Does anyone have any ideas or experience with this issue? I'm open to any and all suggestions. Thanks in advance!!
