Hi I wonder if you have experienced any of this with your cats/kittens. Ozzy is 7 months old and has developed an embarrassing problem…he keeps sucking his willy (I know I know) he’s physically fine eating drinking etc he’s not neutered as our vets have a massive back log apparently is this normal had male cats in the past but never this issue he purrs when he does it ! Any ideas???

It can be a sign of urinary tract infection in cats, so best get him checked out at the vets.

It isn't unknown for animals of all kinds to stimulate their own genitals, just as humans do, so if there's no infection that is causing this, leave him to it!

so if there's no infection that is causing this, leave him to it

Except if can cause problems if he continues so I wouldn't leave it, no.

Take him to the vets op.
And if they won't neuter him ASAP, can you go to another vets who will?

He needs to be neutered. If your vets can’t do it take him somewhere that can.
