A couple of monthes ago I got a kitten that was rescued from a freight yard. For
reasons that are irrelevent now I didn't bring it to the vet for ~3 weeks. Aside
from flies he was given a clean bill of health. The vet estimated at the time he
was 10 wks old at the time.

The problem that I am having with the little guy is that he appears to have lost
his mother (she and the rest of the litter died in the freight yard) to early.
As a result he likes to spend the nights, mornings, etc suckeling on my ear
lobe.I've tried pushing him away but after a day or two of that he gets very
upset and lethatrgic with no interest in playing or defending himself from the
other kitten I got from a local shelter to keep him company.

Anyone have any idea of how long it'll take for him to out grow suckeling my ear
lobe and how I can get him to stop. It's hard to sleep with a kitten suckeling
your ear and kneeding his claws into the side of your head and face!!

It doesn't help that the other kitten seems to be hyper active and a playing
machine.
