My kitten has a continuous problem..

Question
My female kitten seems to always want to suck on the neck of my older male cat. The male has long hair and well I have no clue what to use or do to make her stop. The older male is also so lazy that he just let's her. When I pull her away from him she just goes running back. Any suggestions?

Answer
Well this is really quite normal behavior for young kittens. My two did it for years until they just outgrew it. The male cat that they did it to didn't care at all either. I think he enjoyed it actually, and they nuzzled his belly like they were nursing. They were 10 weeks old when I got them and they outgrew it at a year or so old.

So unless she is making him bleed or something, let them just be. If he doesn't like it he will get her know and move away from her.
