Cats. Is this possible?

Question

We had a female cat who had kittens, and when she was away, the kittens would latch onto our male cat.

They would suckle for ages, and we really believed they were getting milk.

Is this possible?

Answer 1

well, sometimes males can develop the glands that produce breast milk.  But I doubt there were getting any nourishment.  Young mammals will suckle just about anything...it is just a reflex.

Answer 2

I don't know much about cats...so I could be wrong.....but I seriously doubt that they were really getting milk. That would be like a baby latching on to a daddy's nipple and getting breast milk from it.

Answer 3

Its rare but somethimes male cats can produce milk. I know it has happened with male humans. it could just be a security blanket thing.

Answer 4

Only female cats that have given birth can provide mothers milk.  

Not possible.

Answer 5

No but you're cat is g*y for letting them suck him =]
