I have a kitten 3 months old who sucks on my neck and kneads with his paws. Is this normal?

Question

I know I'm bonding with my kitten and he probably thinks I'm his mother, and he purrs loudly when he is doing it, so I wouldn't want to deprive him of doing it, but I am getting a rash on my neck and I'm wondering how long he will continue. Thanks.

Answer 1

no that is not normal the kitten still wants to suckle its mother and thinks your neck is the mothers **** so that is why it is sucking your neck and the needing your neck is the way a kitten gets the milk to come from the mom

Answer 2

no there can me hidden dieases in his toung which leads to your neck! thats why your devloping a rash ask a vet what is wrong! now! dont let ur kitten anymore do that

Answer 3

This happens because he was taken away from his mother too early. A kitten shouldn't be taken away from his/ her mother before 8 weeks of age.

A friend of mine had a cat that did this to her ear lobes all of his adult life. ( He lived to be 15yrs old.) She let him do it. She always had scabs on the back of her ear lobes.

Answer 4

It's normal for cats to knead even if they weren't separated from their mother too young, but most of the time the behavior is a sign that they were. You could be developing a rash from the harshness of his tongue. Gently move him when he starts to l**k your neck and continue petting him, he'll soon learn that he can't do that. Try putting perfume or lotion on your neck that your cat wont like the taste of.  

Answer 5

Don't let your kitten do that! If you let him, he'll keep doing it until you teach him not to.

Move away or make a fake cat his at him when he does this.

A cat usually does that because it was taken away from it's mom to early, but you can't let it continue.

Answer 6

All that means is that the cat was took away from the mother to early.

Answer 7
