I'm not sure if this is a common thing. Or if it's something I can 'stop'. Or if it's mean to stop it.
Basically my 3 year old female cat will come and find me and try to 'suckle' on my t shirt or jumper. The more fluffy the better.
She will knead and purr whilst she does it and drools absolutely everywhere. After a while if allowed to do this she will then curl up all content and go to sleep.
A friend mentioned that sometimes this happens if kittens are taken away from their mothers too early. I think she was about 12 weeks when I bought her.
I hate her doing it because she drools everywhere. But I feel mean pushing her away because she just gets persistent.
Anyone know why she does this it the purpose?
