Title: Rameses and his new habit
Post by: Gwen on October 15, 2008, 12:49:00 PM

The last 3 weeks Rameses has been "kneeding" on Cymros fur,nothing odd there you say and I agree until he started sucking his fur also,just like they do to their mum when kittens and OMG does he Purr when he does it?  Whenever we fuss him we have to be really close to him to hear him Purr but when he's"kneeding" on Cymro he's like a train,but he's only started this the last 3 weeks,is it something we should be concerned about and also what is this behaviour telling us?

We are so baffled :scared: 

Must add also we did used to have a cat who used to do it also to the bathroom rug but she eventually stopped it after doing it for years on end :shify:
