Hey-does anybody else's cat do this?

[HollyK]

Hi - Just wondering about something my cat Homer does. When I'm wearing my really furry robe in the mornings, Homer will jump up on me and grab the belt of the robe in his mouth, then suck on it while kneading another part of my robe!! He is in constant motion when he does this, trying to find a comfortable position to relax in, but can't, so he just keeps moving! It's so funny and sweet to see. His eyes are usually closed also while he does this. Sometimes, it goes on for a few minutes, but normally just a minute or two at the most. Anybody else have this experience? Wish we had a video camera to record it. I'm also wanting so badly to post Homer and Birdie's pics on here, but we haven't quite figured out how to yet. If somebody has the directions on how to do it, please let me know. I know that one person posted how to do it when I first joined here, but I have forgotten the particulars! Thanks.

My cat Buttermilk has just started doing this. I have heard cats do it because they were weaned too early and have also heard that it's a trait of Siamese cats.
