kitten - suckling and training

Question
Hi,

I have two sisters who are about 15 weeks old now.  We have had them for 6 weeks.  One is a tabby and one a torby.
Question #1 - the tabby just started this week suckling on the torby. She today was aso sucking on the torbies leg?  Is this normal?  Will she grow out of it, should I let her do it?  The torbie, does not mind.
#2 - I am trying to keep them out of a room by spraying with water and saying a firm "NO" with a hand signal.  This room (my living room) does not have a door. I put up Balloons before, but now they are unafraid and just jump over them. They know they are not allowed, as when I go in, they scoot out. However they still "break the rules".  am I expecting the impossible? Any suggestions?  I am trying to keep this one room "pet free" for guests.  

Please reply,

Lisa

Hi Lisa,

Some cats suckle. I have one female who latches on to this older male. As she has gotten older she does it less and less. I wouldn't worry about it. Now, onto the living room. There are a few things you can try to do. Line the entrance with bubble wrap. Cats don't like walking on this stuff. You can take it up when company comes. You can try a product called Ssscat! http://www.ssscat.com/repellent/home.html
This also works good. I don't know how big an area you talking about. If you write back with a better description I can help you further. Good luck.

Ciao, Karen
