Hello I called the vet and this is very normal, so I fell better now. They are so close........

WOW :eek: I never heard or saw anything like that! I guess it's normal if your vet says it is.
Does the mother cat do anything about it???

[bella123]

Nope the mothers just walks away.....I do to it makes me feel wired!

I had a friend who had a chihuahua that would nurse foundling kittens, even if she wasn't lactating. Some pets just like to "mother" any thing they can get their paws on :D

That's cute--I've seen it happen on tv before lots of times. It's very common if they are very close! I also saw it with a cat nursing some puppies before and a dog nursing a raccoon. Animals can be so sweet!
