Re: dry nursing


Sorry, Niki, didn't reply not that I was ignoring you, but because I don't have an answer. I've never run into that problem, and hope someone will have some advice. soon. Saturday is always slow on Catsey.

Re: dry nursing


I haven't heard that term before, but I presume you mean she is suckling?

It is for comfort and will do her no harm at all.

Re: dry nursing


It won't do the cat any harm at all - it probably brings her a good deal of comfort.
If you are not happy with the effect on your clothes then it's your choice whether to curb it or not. Remember she doesn't know the difference between a New Look t shirt and your best christmas cashmere jumper.

Re: dry nursing


Bailey does this to our fluffy cushions, we've ended up taking them away and she seems fine! she also does it to my towel dressing gown.

Re: dry nursing


I've had a few cats that have done that, never seemed to cause them any probs. My dog does it too, to a favoured soft toy.
