My mother has 2 kittens, Ritchie (Male) and Kitty (female). Now I'd noticed
earlier in the week Ritchie has a habit of latching onto Kitty and sucking
her (neck, back wherever he can get) but last night Ritchie lay splayed out
on his back in mother's arms, with his back feet pointed to the sky, front
paws 'massaging' thin air and sucking his own chest with gusto.
Is this normal???

I think your cat is just exercising the sucking instinct that all animals,
and human babies, have.

Better they think of you as a mother than what my cat once did.

After raising her from kittenhood, she did a triple take, the oddest
thing to see on a cat.  She realized that I'm male with a flehmen
response to my just doffed underwear and a look that I don't want to
see on anyone not my girlfriend let alone my pet.  She acted odd
around me for a few months after that.
Getting her fixed was a relief for me in more ways than one.

I am not making this up.  It gave her intense and obvious dislike of
my gf a creepier undertone.

LMAO that's just reminded me of something kinda gross..
After my boyfriend and I had finished ehem..well you know..My beautiful
female cat at the time, Sonny went crazy over the clean up towel..Never seen
anything like it. She got very friendly with the towel, purring and cuddling
it like mad. Unsavoury i know but I just felt the need to share..lol
