The attached pic is of my lovely boy cat. He is 5 years old. I got him when he was 4 or 5 weeks old. The school I work in is set in 4 acres of countryside and we have a feral colony. My boy and his siblings were born during school holidays and then abandoned by their frightened mum when she was frightened off by a playground full of kids. I had reared him and fed him milk from a pipette, but he very quickly took to solid food. He constantly wants to suckle on a fleece blanket and pads and presses at my tummy. He likes to be stroked whilst he does it. I dont mind. He's my baby and follows me around. But, why does he do it?
