new addition (a new thing)

Question
Tabbi thank you so much for ur response.  But my better half got the best of me and I took her to the vet, shes just finiky.... Nothing is wrong with her and she ate their wet vet food.  3 times today so im glad and relieved and it was money well "not" spent on making sure.

my other question is this at 10 wks of age and the possibility of her being pulled too soon from mom will the nursing stop on my 3 yr old male.  I dont want to see him sore from her doing this and he does displine bit and chatter at her when he tires of it, but the sound is annoying to me.  (Jude is actually Ava's uncle)  I read about bitter appl on my male but I dont want it to be assoicate on my cat to prevent him from cleaning himself.  anything u can suggest other then go with it.  I gently picj her up and pull her away usually putting her in front of the food until she gets the hint.  

thanks again tabbi

Answer
Jena,

I'm glad there isn't a problem with the kitten eating. If you can afford it, it's always good to have the vet check an animal if you are questioning it's health or habits.

The 'nursing' will stop. She will either grow out of it (unless it is a deep seeded emotional problem, which I doubt it is) or the male will put an end to it. He is not going to happily allow her to cause him pain. What looks painful or irritating to us is not always to a cat. No, I wouldn't put anything on him to discourage her. It is a comfort behavior prior to going to sleep...like a kid needing his stuffed animal. It also means she is loving, happy, and affectionate. Try to bear with it if you can.
