I think so. Our vet has a office cat that he lets run loose. If you pick him up, he will suck on your clothes and when he is done, you have a real big wet spot. I am always dissapointed when I leave dry.... that means I didn't see him.

I Have Heard Of Siamese Cats Sucking On Wool, And That Can Be Bad For Them, And Sometimes If A Cats Waened Too Soon They Will Look For A Mamma Cat Substitute.
No One At The Found Cat Hotel Does That As Far As I Know.

When we first got CC, he sucked on our blankets for a little while, but then stopped once he got older. I think it is just for comfort. :)

My newest kitten Moxie who is about 6 months old now sucks on my hand. She has from the day I found her out in the yard at about 4-5 weeks old. I'm guessing it is because she was taken away from her mom too soon but we had to because the mom cat was a feral cat afraid of humans and we were afraid she would move the kittens and make them feral.
