Question
MY female cat almost 1 year old
My male cat almost 5 months old
We had the female fixed while she was pregnant & aborted the babies.Brought the male home a couple days before & now he still won't quit nursing off her.
How can I stop him.And stop her from allowing this.

Answer
Carrie,

You can get an old sock and cut of the toes and cut it to length and put it on the female to cover all the teats.  The male will not be able to nurse off of her.  After a month, you should be able to remove the sock and, hopefully, broken the habit.

Best regards... Norm.
