Has anyone ever heard of a cat sucking on its tail, and getting pleasure
from it?
My cat sucks on his tail very often (10x daily), and kneads the air, and
purrs extremely loud...
It's as if he's masturbating... and the sucking noises are very, very loud
too...
Maybe he does it to replace his mother? He's about 13 weeks old or so....
I'm not sure, it just seems weird... I've never ever seen a cat do this and
I've had quiet a few.
He gets very mad if you pick him up or try and take his tail out of his
mouth... it's adorable...
I'm not concerned, I was just wondering if anyone else's cat does this... or
why he's doing it...
Thanks,

Our cat also sucks on his tail. Does anyone know how to stop him from
sucking his tail?
Thanks,

Sarah-
My cat has been sucking his tail since he was about 5 mos. He is a little
over two now. The vet told us it is mock nursing and means he has accepted
me and my husband as his parents. Cashmere (my cat) only does it at bedtime
though. He has to be laying by my side and purrs loudly. I have been
searching for more information about this and can't find it anywhere, if you
find out anything else, I'd love to know!
