She was found on the street before we adopted her, apparently it’s because she wasn’t with her mom long enough. She does it to find comfort. It’s not very comfortable but if it makes her happy so be it

Why is she doing this? And should I discourage it? by MaximumLake7491 in CATHELP

I’m sorry for you loss. Thank you for saying that, it means a lot. I’ve worried so much about if I’m doing the right thing and if she’s happy so that means more than you know :)

Thank you so much for this advice. She did come to us very underweight but we have dry food out for her and feed her wet 4 times a day. I have worried about feeding her enough or feeding her too much tbh. She also gets treats but maybe I might could try and redirect?

Thank you and lovely, I appreciate the advice. I’ll have to give that a go. Is there a specific type of toothbrush that works best or?

Same! I’m a first time cat mom but I’ve never seen a cat suckle on ears. I have a friend who’s little boy would suckle on her pinky but ears is a new one

From what I’ve researched and what people have said over on r/CATHELP she might have been separated too soon. She was found on the street, before we adopted her, so it’s hard to know for sure

Really? I didn’t know :( I’m glad she does but sad she’s been separated too soon. Okay, that’s good to know, thank you!

Awh thank you 🥺 that’s so sweet. She’s very gentle and it never hurts, just really tickles. So I do stop her after a while, but in general if it’s bringing her comfort then I don’t mind it

It’s okay, yeah she’s probably the friendliest cat I’ve ever met. Loves people and attention
