Vampire kitteh strikes again!

Ooh that would be annoying. Maybe you could get her a pacifier.

I got a good laugh from reading your description of your little vampire kitten. I never really thought about it before but they can be little blood-suckers, can't they! I had a kitten that loved to sleep on my side while I slept. The problem was that he got big but never outgrew his habit. He did the kneading thing, too, and those claws would sometimes go right through the covers and into my skin. What a way to wake up, huh? I'd love to take one of your kittens. My husband has been saying for about a year now that he would like a new kitten. I think we're doing fine with 2 dogs and 2 cats but he apparently wants another one. I was thinking about going to the animal shelter to get him one so I'll probably do that before Christmas. Good luck in finding homes for your little vampires! From my own past experience, it's never hard to find good homes as long as the kittens are free.

Reminds me of some of the Cats we had back when I was growing up as kittens. We had one named Striped Sox that used to love to suck on your feet, or your socks especially. No matter what we tried even as he got older he was like this. So maybe this is something that Cat will grow out of, but something it will continue to do as well. Good Luck with catching the other cats and getting them fixed and New homes. That can help solve some of your issues for sure.

Lol I love it This Kitty has personality lol if I was closer I would have her lol and Gissi would get really jealous lol, but she sounds a right little Devil

I have heard that cats that act in the manner you describe were weaned too soon. This may or may not be true, and the so called authority did not offer a solution to the problem.

The kitten sounds so adorable, 3 lbs and all. Makes me miss when Frowl was a kitten getting into all kind of trouble. I just had to learn to start wearing pants because she would climb up legs with her claws to get on my shoulder and see what I was doing. I hope you find a great home for the suckee-suckee kitten.

your kitty sounds lovely,my kid of 3yrs goes on biting as he doesnot know of any other means to express love but attimes it does get painful.

What a cute kitten Jool is indeed! I remember having kittens do similar things to me too, especially when they were very young. Toes seem to be a favourite with them for some reason. There is a very good reason why kittens, and even grown cats, exhibit this kind of behaviour though. It is usually because they have been taken away from their litter mates and mother to soon, usually under 12 weeks of age. Because they haven't really had time to learn what is cat behaviour and what isn't, they use these behaviours on humans too, believing they themselves are human. It is mostly a comfort thing, somthing they do when they are feeling stressed, but it can also be a sign of contentment. Rehoming her is going to be very hard. She is firmly bonded to you, which means if she goes to a new home, she will stress really badly because you aren't there. The transition to new owners is then better done slowly, which is probably better for you too (we all know how attatched you are to your cats!). Visits by the new owners on a regular basis for a few weeks, until Jool starts to show highly affectionate behaviours towards them, and then it should be easier for her to go and live with them. It is hard giving kittens up though. I've done it in the past, but would much rather have kept them all myself! Yeah, I'm selfish, but how do you choose one cat/kitten over another? It is impossible!

Cats sometimes do get into annoying habits. The cat we have now when he is hungry will nibble your skin will give you small bites like he is trying to say "I am hunry." You need to feed me now. He is a very cute kitty but getting bit by those sharp little teeth is not fun.

hi ElicBxn wow I have never seen a kitten do that but was she taken from her mom too early perhaps and is trying to nurse your arm? sound silly I know but why else the suckind sounds, unless your kitty, he he he, is a bit psycho. I am kidding of course.That must indeed be hard on your poor arm.

U & those cats, better quit telling jool's bad habits are u want ever find her a home, lol.

yes poor thing was taken from mommy to soon. when my kids were little they were always bringing home abandoned kittens and cats. one time they brought one that would suck on your eyes ..eeewww, when you was trying to sleep or just close them. you know kids i had to keep telling them to stop showing everyone how the baby sucked on eyes.

That sucking is just sooooo darn annoying. What do they think? that you will give them milk from body parts not meant to produce milk? And it tickles. Yes, get all of them fixed so that there are no more babies. If the suck monster is that lovable, there is a good chance someone will want to adopt her. Babies are always cute. Give kitty a ton of kisses for me.

Hey Elic! She sounds like such a sweet little kitty! I so wish that there was some way that I could take her! I love her name too! I would love to have a kitten again! My boys are going to be six soon and they should have another brother or sister to play with! I'm not sure how thrilled they would be at first, but I think they'd come around! If it was up to me I would have my apartment filled with kittys!

Our cat is about 9 years old, and much more than 3 pounds. Does your little kitty have fangs like our cat does? LOL I don't know how his teeth grew in, but if he had a trunk, he'd look like a furry elephant. haha He does that to us all the time. Now he's sitting on top of the TV set licking himself.

I've had a couple of kittens that did the kneading sucking thing. My vets said it was because they had been taken from their mothers when they were still too young. They transfer their neediness to a substitute Mum. Pretty sad really, poor lil kittehs.

How is lil' Jool doing now with the sucking, Elic? Sounds like she is having a hard time weaning maybe?

I wonder if Jool is going to have that habit the rest of her life. I had one kitty, Whoopi who throughout her life loved sucking on earlobes...talk about a wet mess--she'd suck on one lobe, change to the other, then change back again..it was a habit she had all her life. When I had to give her up to a pet rescuer, sure enough she did it to her

My cat is 13 and he does a similar thing, he suckles on my clothes and especially likes wool and kneads; he would do it for hours if I let him! I fell asleep on the couch last weekend and the cat laid next to me and suckled my sleeve for the whole 2 hours I was napping! It is no longer cute and I find it annoying but all I can do is discourage him by stopping him as soon as he starts unless I’m asleep of course!

I got a cute one for yoy. I have a kitten that usto like to suck on your earlobe!!!!At first it was was creepy feeling and then cute. I had to warn the new owners that she had this weird habit. She was cute.
